The Remains of Thomas Cranmer, vol. 2
Overview
As important as Cranmer’s writings are to the Christian faith, the story of his life and the historic role he played as an advocate for the English Church and Archbishop of Canterbury during the time of Henry VIII are equally fascinating.
The subject of Communion, doctrine of transubstantiation, and questions regarding what Cranmer refers to as the “extravagant pretense” of the Roman Church are examined in this 16th century document.

“Christ is now the righteousness of all them that truly do believe in him. He for them paid their ransom by his death. He for them fulfilled the law in his life. So that now in him, and by him, every true Christian man may be called a fulfiller of the law; forasmuch as that which their infirmity lacketh, Christ’s justice hath supplied.” (Page 142)
“But St. Paul in that place speaketh of the eating of the bread and drinking of the wine, and not of the corporal eating of Christ’s flesh and blood, as it is manifest to every man that will read the text: for these be the words of St. Paul: Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread, and drink of the cup; for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh his own damnation, not discerning the Lord’s body.” (Page 437)
“For Christ’s body hath a soul, life, sense, and reason: but bread hath neither soul, life, sense, nor reason” (Page 377)

Thomas Cranmer was born in 1489, in Nottinghamshire, England. A scholar of Jesus College of Cambridge, he went on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury, remaining so during the reigns of English kings Henry VIII and Edward VI.

Well-known for his interaction with Henry VIII, his work on The Book of Common Prayer, and his teachings on the doctrine of transubstantiation, Cranmer also helped establish the structure of the Church of England. Cranmer was martyred in 1556 in Oxford.
