Abstract

The works of Anglican Reformer Bishop Nicholas Ridley are an often untapped source of theological erudition, pastoral wisdom and evangelical witness. Ridley's doctrines of Scripture and sacramental theology remain examples of careful evangelical scholarship, and model an understanding of how key doctrines overlap and inform each other. His writings provide thought-provoking examples of theological reflection placed in the service of pastoral need, overflowing from an episcopal pastoral heart. His convictions regarding the spiritual dangers of compromise and necessity of the gospel shaping the actions, interactions and commitments of Christian people offer salutary encouragement. Transferrable insights from Ridley's works will be suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
