Description - ‘Practical Divinity’: The Works and Life of Revd Richard Greenham by Kenneth L. Parker
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. This study aims to restore Richard Greenham to the central place he held in the development of Elizabethan reformed parochial ministry. The introduction includes a biography, an analysis of his pastoral style and a study of his approach to curing cases of conscience. The transcription of Ryland's English Manuscript 524, cross-referenced with the published editions of the sayings, offers a useful source to scholars who wish to study the collecting and "framing" process of the humanist pedagogical tradition. The selection of early published works includes Greenham's (unfinished) catechism, treatises on the Sabbath and marriage and advice on reading the scriptures and educating children.
