The two Books of Homilies, along with the Book of Common Prayer and
the Ordinal, have been basic documents of the Church of England,
and are valuable in showing Anglican doctrine during the
Reformation, as well as being of considerable historical
importance. The first book, published in 1547, early in the reign
of Edward VI, was partly though not entirely the work of Archbishop
Thomas Cranmer, and the inspiration appears to have been his. This
was intended to raise the standards of preaching by offering model
sermons covering particular doctrinal and pastoral themes, either
to be read (particularly by unlicensed clergy) or to provide
preachers with additional material for their own sermons. The
success of the venture led Bishop Edmund Bonner, who had
contributed to Cranmer's book, to produce his own Book of Homilies
in 1555, during the reign of Queen Mary. The Second Book of
Homilies, published in 1563 (and in a revised form in 1571) appears
in turn to have been influenced both by Cranmer's and by Bonner's
books. The present edition brings together the all three books,
edited and introduced by Revd Dr Gerald Bray.
