This title presents a detailed study of the development of Thomas
Cranmer's theology of the Eucharist in context of his sacramental
theology and the reform of the liturgy.The development of Thomas
Cranmer's theology of the Eucharist has often been studied and
debated. This book places that development in the context of his
sacramental theology and overall policy towards the reform of the
liturgy. The first part of the book describes the traditional
practice and perceptions of the Eucharist and Baptism (a somewhat
different picture from that presented e.g. by Duffy's Stripping of
the Altars). It then follows the evidence for liturgical reform and
the development in Cranmer's thought through the reign of Henry
VIII and the beginning of Edward VI's reign leading up to the two
Prayer Books.Detailed examination of the 1549 Prayer Book confirms
scholarly consensus that its theological standpoint is identical to
that of 1552, the fullest and clearest liturgical expression of
Cranmer's standpoint; however there are sections in it which (along
with the Order of Communion of 1548) suggest the influence of a
less radical sacramental and Eucharistic theology. It is suggested
that the 1549 Prayer Book was originally drafted as a liturgy to
accompany the King's Book of 1543 but was hurriedly changed as
Cranmer's thought developed through 1548.
