"The three official statements of faith produced under Henry VIII and Mary Tudor are at last given the full scholarly treatment they have long cried out for. Bray's indispensable edition not only gives us the texts, but tracks the relationships between what are, in effect, three versions of a single book, as well as uncovering the hitherto inaccessible handwritten notes concerning the revisions made by Henry VIII and Archbishop Cranmer. Every historian of the English Reformation will want to keep this wonderfully easy-to-use edition within arm's reach."Alec Ryrie, Professor of the History of Christianity, Durham University"Gerald Bray has triumphed again! All students of the English Reformation will prize this critical edition of The Institution of a Christian Man and its later recensions, back in print for the first time since the 1930s. These important but neglected texts reveal the theological turmoil under Henry VIII and Mary Tudor, now in a user-friendly format that makes the complex doctrinal fluctuations easy to follow."Dr Andrew Atherstone, Latimer Research Fellow, Wycliffe Hall, Oxfordin producing this edition Bray has made theese three key texts available to modern scholars. For this he deserves our thankscharlotte Meuthuen. Uni of Glasgow, Expository Times 131(2) november 2019highly accessible.
