The Rev. J. J. Blunt was an English clergyman and scholar who wrote the historical book "Sketch of the Reformation in England" in the 19th century. The book gives a summary of the activities and theological adjustments that took place during the English Reformation, a time of political and ecclesiastical upheaval that spanned the 16th and 17th centuries. The English Reformation's genesis is covered in Blunt's book, along with the Protestant Reformation's effects on England as well as the Renaissance and the printing press. Then, he discusses the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth, focusing on each monarch's religious policies and activities and how they affected the English Church and society. Blunt is known for his meticulous research of original materials and attention to detail in his work. His analysis of the complicated ecclesiastical and political factors at work during the English Reformation is based mainly on contemporaneous testimonies and documentation. All things considered, "Sketch of the Reformation in England" is a useful tool for anybody curious in the background of the English Reformation and how it affected English society and culture.
Hidden in Plain View: Undesigned Coincidences in the Gospels and Acts revives an argument for the historical reliability of the New Testament that has been largely neglected for more than a hundred years. An undesigned coincidence is an apparently casual, yet puzzle-like -fit- between two or more texts, and its best explanation is that the authors knew the truth about the events they describe or allude to. Connections of this kind among passages in the Gospels, as well as between Acts and the Pauline epistles, give us reason to believe that these documents came from honest eyewitness sources, people -in the know- about the events they relate. Supported by careful research yet accessibly written, Hidden in Plain View provides solid evidence that all Christians can use to defend the Scriptures and the truth of Christianity.
