Treatises on Scripture and the Sacraments

by John Jewel, Andrew Brashier (Editor)

After Thomas Cranmer, there is likely no single figure who has impacted the identity and beliefs of Anglicanism moreso than John Jewel. This short volume collects two of Jewel’s long-forgotten A Treatise on Holy Scripture and A Treatise on the Sacraments, and is designed for both clergy and laity alike. Longtime students of Anglican theology will find fresh insights, while at the same time newcomers and catechumens can be handed a copy with little preparation.

Excellent treatises on both subjects. Elucidating and concise, Jewel helped me to understand the significance and meaning of both sacraments, as well as the beauty and truth of scripture.
