Institution of a Christian Man

Compiled during the early years of the Reformation, Institution of a Christian Man lays out the principles of the nascent Church of England. In this definitive new edition, Gerald Bray charts the development of this text from the first version introduced by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and his cohort of bishops, to the extensive edits made by Henry VIII himself, and finally to the version written by Bishop Edmund Bonner under the radically different circumstances of Mary I¿s reign.
