During the last decade of Henry VIII's life, his Protestant
subjects struggled to reconcile two loyalties: to their Gospel and
to their king. This book tells the story of that struggle and
describes how a radicalised English Protestantism emerged from it.
Focusing on the critical but neglected period 1539-47, Dr Ryrie
argues that these years were not the 'conservative reaction' of
conventional historiography, but a time of political fluidity and
ambiguity. Most evangelicals continued to hope that the king would
favour their cause, and remained doctrinally moderate and
politically conformist. The author examines this moderate reformism
in a range of settings - in the book trade, in the universities, at
court and in underground congregations. He also describes its
gradual eclipse, as shifting royal policy and the dynamics of the
evangelical movement itself pushed reformers towards the more
radical, confrontational Protestantism which was to shape the
English identity for centuries.
