Lancelot Andrews: Mentor of Reformed Catholicism in the Post Reformation English Church

This book focuses on one of the most important preaching and teaching prelates in the post-Reformation Church in England, Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626). As a prelate deeply grounded in the teachings as Patristics, he endeavored to uphold all that was wholesome in the Catholic religion after the reforms under the Tudors. Thus, he encouraged his contemporaries to live a faith based on sacramental and pious principles. He also encouraged an aesthetic approach "to worship in the beauty of holiness."

His teaching, preaching, and worship had a significant effect on many in his own days, and perhaps even more after his death in the revision of worship in prayer books in the Anglican Communion in our own times.

This book, which reflects Ph.D. research undertaken in the 1990s, is of immense value to students and academics interested in the Reformation era in England, especially those who uphold the Catholic tradition in the English Church.
