In his important evaluation of the theological leader of the EnglishReformation, G.W. Bromiley charts Cranmer's doctrinal views, scripturalinterpretation and liturgical composition. His nuanced position on variouscontroversial issues of the day, not least baptism, is articulated with clarityand care, and his ecumenical sensitivity is foregrounded.While arguably more adept as a scholar than as a creative theologianin his own right, Cranmer's writing nevertheless formed the cornerstone offuture Anglican theology. Through his Articles of Religion (42, later reducedto 39) and the Book of Common Prayer, he set the parameters within which theChurch of England was to operate. Perhaps most significantly, as Bromileyshows, his extensive citation of patristic sources established a precedent forhis successors that continues today. Written by one of the great ecclesiasticalhistorians of the twentieth century, Thomas Cranmer, Theologian is theessential starting point for understanding Cranmer's influence and legacy inthe Anglican church.
