The Works of Roger Hutchinson

Focusing on the historical context, the Parker Society was established in 1840 to publish the works of prominent English Reformers from the sixteenth century, completing its mission by 1855. The society, named after Matthew Parker, aimed to counter criticisms from the Tractarian movement regarding the English Reformation. It sought to present these influential texts attractively, reinforcing the significance of the Reformation within the Church of England amidst growing dissent.
