Reviews
Although John Jewel was an influential figure in the English church, relatively little else has been written about him. Gary W. Jenkins's 2006 biography provided an important update of J. E. Booty's 1963 work, but otherwise John Jewel's significance in the post-Reformation church has been largely ignored. This collection of essays, which grew out of a conference in 2014 marking the 450th anniversary of the publication of Jewel's Apology for the Church of England, provides a remedy to that. -Rosamund Oates, Cambridge Journal of British Studies
An enjoyably erudite pathway into the world of John Jewel, which will only leave the reader longing for a more in-depth engagement with the central subject himself. -Lee Gatiss, Reading Religion Historians, literary scholars, and researchers in religious studies will treasure this publication for how clearly it shows Jewel's connections to diverse thinkers of his time and the generations following, all concerned with articulating the truth of Christianity even when much was in dispute. -Janice Liedl, Renaissance and Reformation Although John Jewel was an influential figure in the English church, relatively little else has been written about him.
