Paper Summary:
The first part of the paper looks at the role Cranmer played in justifying the theological bases of Henry VIII's numerous divorces. The next part then examines Cranmer's religious convictions as enshrined in the Ten Articles and, later, in the two versions of the Book of Common Prayer. In the last section, the paper evaluates Cranmer's continuing legacy in the areas of English culture, literacy, and, especially, on the flourishing in England of the Anglican faith.From the Paper:
"Cranmer enjoyed a close, though definitely not equal, relationship with Henry VIII. This relationship stemmed from Henry VIII's desire to dissolve his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, for her failure to provide him a male heir. Upon being released from his marital vows, the monarch was determined to marry palace lady Anne Boleyn. Only the specific disapproval and warnings of the pope prevented Henry VII from consummating his divorce and second marriage."More papers on Thomas Cranmer:
