Richard Greenham was one of the most important and respected
figures among the Elizabethan clergy. His contemporaries described
him as the founder of a previously unknown pastoral art: the cure
of cases of conscience. Despite his fame in the Elizabethan period
as a model pastor, pioneer in reformed casuistry, and founder of
one of the first rectory seminaries, scholars have made little use
of his life and works in their study of Elizabethan religious life.
This study restores Richard Greenham to the central place he held
in the development of Elizabethan Reformed parochial ministry. The
monograph-length introduction includes a biography, an analysis of
his pastoral style, and a study of his approach to curing cases of
conscience. The transcription of Rylands English Manuscript 524,
cross-referenced with the published editions of the sayings, offers
a useful source to scholars who wish to study the collecting and
'framing' process of the humanist pedagogical tradition. The
selection of early published works includes Greenham's (unfinished)
catechism, treatises on the Sabbath and marriage, and advice on
reading scripture and educating children.
