Peter Marshall, University of Warwick, UK
"Susan Wabuda is to be commended for this fresh study of the life and thought of Thomas Cranmer. The purpose of the book is twofold: to provide a concise and accessible biography of Cranmer and to make additional contributions to our knowledge of the great reformer. It succeeds on both counts.
