Brill English Evangelicals and Tudor Obedience, c.1527–1570: 167 (Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, 167)

Review "This book proposes an important revision of the traditional understanding of the theology of political obedience within the nascent English Protestant tradition [...] This is a significant contribution to our understanding of Early English Protenstantism." David Carter, Princeton University. In: Revue D'Histoire Ecclésiastique. "Reeves's splendid study shows there is 'no evidence of a division between English and Reformed Protestants on the issue of obedience prior to the late 1550s' (p. 198) and that 'in Tudor England, one could be thoroughly committed to obedience and be nevertheless ardently Protestant'." Donald K. McKim in The Journal of Theological Studies, 2014. "Eminently readable". Aude de Mézerac-Zanetti, Université de Lille. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vl. 68, No. 3 (July 2017), pp. 626-628. Product Description Drawing on a wide range of Tudor evangelical writings, this book offers a new perspective on evangelical attitudes towards the king, the Royal Supremacy, and political resistance, noting in particular the connection between Swiss and Tudor concepts of obedience.
