An Answer to Sir Thomas More's Dialogue

More about the book

Focusing on the historical context, this book delves into the Parker Society, established in 1840 to publish the influential works of sixteenth-century English Reformers. It highlights the society's response to the Tractarian movement, which criticized the Reformation. Named after Matthew Parker, the first Elizabethan Archbishop of Canterbury, the society aimed to present these pivotal texts in an appealing format, addressing the concerns of some Church of England members about the Reformation's legacy. The society's efforts culminated in a comprehensive fifty-four-volume collection by 1855.
