In 1550-51, English Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer engaged
in a debate with Bishop Stephen Gardiner. Archbishop Cranmer was
asserting a new Reformed view for England's Eucharist theology, but
he faced opposition from England's leading traditional theologian,
Gardiner. Gardiner remained faithful to the traditional doctrine of
transubstantiation, while Cranmer was formulating a Spiritual
Presence theology. This book analyzes the debate, asking how both
Cranmer and Gardiner arrived at opposing theologies despite being
involved similarly in English religion and politics. To answer the
question, the book examines each author's use of scripture,
continental Reformers, and early Church Fathers. The book also
argues that the personal and political context surrounding the two
men shaped the nature of the theological debate. While trying to
push Edward VI's England toward greater Reformation, Cranmer faced
continued opposition from Gardiner who was imprisoned throughout
Edward's reign. Gardiner sought release from prison and a return to
authority, while Cranmer sought validation for his new theology and
its associated legislation. To counter Gardiner's challenge,
Cranmer had to create a clear Eucharistic theology. This political
and personal climate therefore forced Cranmer to create England's
Spiritual Presence theology by 1552 that was adopted in the 1558
Elizabethan Settlement and Anglican Church. It was this debate that
set Anglicanism for England.
