Few areas of early modern English history have roused such passions
and interpretations as the rule of Mary Tudor and her efforts to
return the country to Catholicism following the reigns of her
father and brother. In this book, Dr Wizeman explores Catholic
theology and spirituality according to the religious literature
printed during the reign of Mary Tudor (1553-1558). As part of the
strategy to renew Catholic religion in England after the
reformations under Henry VIII and Edward VI, Marian theologians,
authors and editors produced numerous works of catechesis,
religious polemic, devotion and sermons. These writings demonstrate
that the Catholicism of Marian England was not a mere insular
reaction to the preceding decades of religious change, nor a via
media polity which eschewed important elements of traditional
religion while embracing tenets of the Reformation. Rather the
theology and spirituality of Mary Tudor's church, as well as many
of its strategies for religious renewal, was intimately connected
to - and in fact anticipated or paralleled - the theology,
spirituality and strategies for reform embraced by
Counter-Reformation Catholicism, especially after the promulgation
of the decrees of the Council of Trent (1545-1563). After
considering the recent historiography of Mary Tudor's reign, the
book contextualises these writings through a brief history of the
Marian church and a discussion of the authors and dedicatees. It
then presents an analysis of the Marian writers' and theologians'
views on revelation, christology, soteriology, ecclesiology,
sacramental theology, piety and eschatology. Finally, the study
compares the Catholic belief asserted in these works to that found
in texts by English theologians printed before 1553, especially
John Fisher, and by contemporary theologians in Europe,
particularly Bartolome Carranza, as well as the Tridentine
catechism, and the decrees and official texts of the English
Reformation.
