The role of bishops in the process of Reformation in the 16th
century, studied from their surviving writings and contemporary
discussion. The English bishops played a crucial role in the
process of Reformation in the sixteenth century, from the first
arrival of continental Reformed thought to the virtual extinction
of the office in 1559. This work has at its core the bishops' own
understanding of the episcopate, drawn from their surviving
writings and other contemporary discussions; such a study is key to
understanding what became of the English Church of the middle ages
and what it was to become under Elizabeth. Carleton examines the
interplay between bishop and king, the episcopate in the context of
other orders, and the social context of the office; he studies
episcopal activity in key areas such as preaching, ordaining, and
opposing heresy; and he notes the influence of the models which the
bishops themselves set up as ideals, most notably Christ himself as
the ideal bishop. The backgrounds of the bishops are set out in the
appendix.
