The Political Thought of Martin Luther
The Problems of Luther’s ‘Tower-Experience’ and its Place in his Intellectual Development
The problem of the date and significance of Luther’s so-called ‘tower-experience’ ( Turmerlebnis )—the moment of illumination at which he came to his new understanding of Romans 1:17—is one of the longstanding cruces of modern Luther-scholarship. Since the problem was first raised in its modern form by German scholars at the beginning of the present century probably no aspect of Luther’s biography has attracted so much attention or has been the s…
Thomas Brett's Puritan Papers: A Lost Collection of Elizabethan Manuscripts
Among the sources that Strype used for his Life of Whitgift was a group of MSS., relating to the activities of the Puritans between c. 1588 and 1591, which he was lent in 1711 by the Rev. Thomas Brett, LL.D., of Spring Grove, Kent, the future Non-Juror bishop. The papers had originally belonged to a maternal ancestor of Brett's, Sir John Boys of St. Gregory's, Canterbury, a successful Elizabethan lawyer who had been M.P. successively for Sandwich…
Luther and the right of resistance to the emperor
Like most problems connected with Luther, the question of his attitude to the right of resistance to the emperor is one that has attracted a great deal of attention from german scholars. Sixty years ago, at the height of the first world war, Karl Müller published his pioneering essay, Luthers Äusserungen über das Recht des bewaffneten Widerstands gegen den Kaiser, in which he provided the first detailed analysis of the development of Luther’s vie…
John Strype as a source for the study of sixteenth-century English church history
Because he was not a medievalist John Strype does not find a place in David Douglas’s classic study of the golden age of English antiquarian scholarship, English Scholars 1660–1730 . Yet in terms both of his output and of his influence on the subsequent development of the study of English church history Strype is arguably one of the most important scholars that the age produced. Even to-day, nearly 250 years after his death, the twenty-five volum…

The Source of Hooker's Knowledge of Marsilius of Padua
In the well-known passage in Book VII of Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity , where Hooker admits to having changed his mind on the subject of the origins of episcopacy, he cites the Defensor Pacis of Marsilius of Padua among a list of marginal references to late-medieval and sixteenthcentury writers who maintained the view, which he states he had once considered ‘a great deal more probable than now I do’, that bishops were not introduced into …
A Reconsideration of Richard Bancroft's Paul's Cross Sermon of 9 February 1588/9
Richard Bancroft's Paul's Cross Sermon of 9 February 1588/9 owes its fame to the fact that it has traditionally been associated with the first appearance in Anglican theology of the jure divino theory of episcopacy. So far as I have been able to discover, this tradition appears to derive its origin from the account of the Sermon given by John Strype in the eighteenth century, although the germ of the idea is considerably older, since it can be tr…
Who Wrote ‘The Supper of the Lord’
The Short-Title Catalogue includes in its list of Tyndale's works a pamphlet called ‘The Supper of the Lord,’ which was originally published anonymously on the continent in 1533, under the fictitious imprint of Nicholas Twonson of Nuremberg. But there are serious objections against accepting Tyndale's authorship. Although the pamphlet was reprinted several times during the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI, it did not finally appear under Tyndal…
