The practice of swearing oaths was at the centre of the English
Reformation. On the one hand, oaths were the medium through which
the Henrician regime implemented its ideology and secured loyalty
among the people. On the other, they were the tool by which the
English people embraced, resisted and manipulated royal policy.
Jonathan Michael Gray argues that since the Reformation was
negotiated through oaths, their precise significance and function
are central to understanding it fully. Oaths and the English
Reformation sheds new light on the motivation of Henry VIII, the
enforcement of and resistance to reform and the extent of popular
participation and negotiation in the political process. Placing
oaths at the heart of the narrative, this book argues that the
English Reformation was determined as much by its method of
implementation and response as it was by the theology or political
theory it transmitted.
