The Anglican Church remains a pillar of the British establishment.
It is the state church, both venerable and dependable - and is
often taken for granted. Yet its history is far from comfortable.
It was born into an age of bloody turmoil, marked by Henry VIII's
divisive secession from Rome in 1534. And between the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries Anglicanism became the bitter battleground
for some of the fiercest contests in Europe over interpretations of
the Bible, liturgy and theology. Reformed or Catholic? Puritan or
Arminian? Bishops or elders? As Euan Cameron reveals, in his
much-anticipated new book, these were among the crucial questions
facing men such as Cranmer, Latimer, Lancelot Andrewes, Laud and
Traherne. In addressing them, the Anglican divines created not just
their own national church but also timeless masterpieces of world
literature such as the Book of Common Prayer, the King James Bible,
Richard Hooker's Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity and the sublime
verse of the scholar-lyricist George Herbert. This `golden age' of
devotional writing was inseparable from the volatile politics of
the age.
