ON THIS DAY in REFORMATION HISTORY

24 June 1509 – Henry VIII was crowned King of England. Henry was a Renaissance man, he was fluent in Latin, French and Spanish, an accomplished musician, theologian and Humanist scholar. Yet, despite Henry’s strong loyalties to the Pope, expressed in both blood and ink, Henry did much to open England to the Reformation. It was not so much that Henry embraced the Protestant Faith, as much as he came to reject the authority of the Roman pope over English affairs.

This Day by Day Calendar of the Reformation is taken from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book The Greatest Century of Reformation (available from Christian Liberty Books, PO Box 358, Howard Place 7450, Cape Town, South Africa, Tel: 021-689-7478, Fax: 086-551-7490, Email: admin@christianlibertybooks.co.za and Website: http://www.christianlibertybooks.co.za.
