The Writings of John Bradford ...

The Parker Society focused on preserving and promoting the writings of key English Reformers from the sixteenth century by publishing fifty-four volumes between 1840 and 1855. Founded in response to the Tractarian movement's criticism of the Reformation, the society aimed to provide accessible editions of these important works to reaffirm their significance within the Church of England. Named after Matthew Parker, the first Elizabethan Archbishop of Canterbury, the society played a crucial role in the historical documentation of Anglican thought.
