251 NNH 52 Thomas Cranmer 1

One of the most interesting Christian History Podcasts that I published was Episode 38 on the English Reformation. The 16th Century English history was to say the least, colorful. Smackdab in the middle of everything that happened was Thomas Cranmer. The history books that I used definitely emphasized his importance, but we really did not get into much detail. So, when I grabbed Issue 48 of CHM and saw that it was on Thomas Cranmer, I thought, “Alright, here we go.” What a fascinating man? Was he an amazing theologian, Yes. Was he oily politician? Yes! Was he a pragmatist? Yes. He was the best of them and quite possibly the worse of 16th century Christian England. Intrigued? Let’s get to know him. First, I will read to you my favorite section, "Did You Know." This one is written by the Editors of the magazine. Then I will read to you the first part of "Courage when it Counted" by historian Mark Galli.

Here is the link to Issue 48:
