'PRACTICAL DIVINITY': The Works and Life of Revd Richard Greenham
Aldershot: Ashgate, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Presentation copy, inscribed by both authors on the front flyleaf. "Richard Greenham was one of the most important and respected figures among the Elizabethan clergy. His contemporaries described him as the founder of a previously unknown pastoral art: the cure of cases of conscience. Despite his fame in the Elizabethan period as a model pastor, pioneer in reformed casuistry, and founder of one of the first rectory seminaries, scholars have made little use of his life and works in their study of Elizabethan religious life. This study restores Richard Greenham to the central place he held in the development of Elizabethan Reformed parochial ministry." A volume in the St Andrews Studies in Reformation History. Octavo: 395 p. with a frontispiece and 4 figures. Original black cloth binding, with gilt titles. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with some very light sun fading along the spine. Near fine / Near fine. Item #74343
