"A much-needed and long-awaited book....The account given by
Professor Solt of these fascinating developments is clear, concise,
cogent, and thoroughly satisfying."--Church History
"Will take a place in the literature as one of the few general
surveys of the period, and as possibly the most accessible and
authoritative."--Journal of Ecclesiastical History
"The best book in print on this topic....Highly recommended for
college and university libraries."--CHOICE
"Based on extensive research in primary sources, this survey of
church-state relations in England from 1509 to 1640 is a synthesis
of scholarship which superceds the works of Gilbert Child (1890)
and H.M. Gwakin (1917)."--Theology Digest
"Rewarding, important and useful."--Sixteenth Century Journal
"I know of no modern work that covers the same ground. Professor
Solt writes with great authority, and this work is the product of a
lifetime of learning. It reflects the author's subtle mind,
understanding of the period, and careful judgment. His use of
printed sources, weaving them into his narrative in order to
capture the precise flavor and meaning of authors and ideas, is
masterful."--Martin J. Havran, University of Virginia
"Solt's wide-screen vision of religion and politics--from Henry
VIII until the final expression of Puritan resistance--allows him
insights both distinctive and provocative....No dry history, this;
perhaps Masterpiece Theater might consider it for a potential
series."--History
"Professor Solt has produced a useful book which will undoubtedly
help to guide student through a complex and formative period in the
history of church and state."--Anglican and Episcopal History
