This volume brings together a diverse group of Reformation scholars
to examine the life, work, and enduring significance of John Jewel,
bishop of Salisbury from 1560 to 1571. A theologian and scholar who
worked with early reformers in England such as Peter Martyr
Vermigli, Martin Bucer, and Thomas Cranmer, Jewel had a
long-lasting influence over religious culture and identity. The
essays included in this book shed light on often-neglected aspects
of Jewel's work, as well as his standing in Elizabethan culture not
only as a priest but as a leader whose work as a polemicist and
apologist played an important role in establishing the authority
and legitimacy of the Elizabethan Church of England. The
contributors also place Jewel in the wider context of gender
studies, material culture, and social history. With its inclusion
of a short biography of Jewel's early life and a complete list of
his works published between 1560 and 1640, Defending the Faith is a
fresh and robust look at an important Reformation figure who was
recognized as a champion of the English Church, both by his enemies
and by his fellow reformers. In addition to the editors,
contributors to this volume are Andrew Atherstone, Ian Atherton,
Paul Dominiak, Alice Ferron, Paul A. Hartog, Torrance Kirby, W.
Bradford Littlejohn, Aislinn Muller, Joshua Rodda, and Lucy
Wooding.
