Gresham College Lectures
England's Protestant Reformation
•
Gresham College
When England's Reformation began, only a small band of idealists - or fanatics - truly wanted a Protestant England. Nevertheless, within a single lifetime, they achieved it.
The lecture considers how the upheavals of the Tudor era led to the emergence of a genuinely new religious consciousness in England, as reformers set about rebuilding the nation's spirit from the ground up. By their own impossibly high standards, these reformers failed; but their 'failure' was transformative and its consequences are enduring.
A lecture by Alec Ryrie 10 March
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
