	Book of Homilies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since many priests and deacons were still uneducated, semi-literate and catholic in their theology and practice, it was decided to create a series of sermons to be read out during the church service by the local minister.
		The Second book of Homilies contained twenty-one sermons and was written mainly by Bishop John Jewel, and were fully published by 1571.
		The reading of the Homilies as part of the church service was supported by Article XXXV of the Thirty-Nine Articles.

	Lancashire's Intro to Homilies
		The Elizabethan homilies are the third pillar of the Church of England in the Renaissance.
		The first homily, "A Fruitfull Exhortation to the Reading and Knowledge of Holy Scripture," taught that every person was personally and entirely responsible for her or his faith and character, and that the only way of carrying out that responsibility was through reading and listening.
		All 33 homilies were published unsigned because they derive their authority, not from any individual or even any group of bishops and chaplains, but from the Church of England itself and of course the living monarch.

	Anglican Theological Review: Justification by faith in the two Books of Homilies (1547 and 1571)
		The Books of Homilies of 1547 and 1571 were compiled with a doctrinal, ecclesiastical and sociopolitical agenda in mind.
		Such commentators argue that the Homilies are espousing particular doctrine not as an end in itself but rather as a means to promote a hierarchical vision of society and the notions of duty and obedience to those in authority consistent with maintaining that societal structure.2 I would suggest that this is twentieth-century eisegesis.
		The Homilies of the 1547 Book can be grouped into two units of six Homilies, with the first group pertaining to the doctrine, and the second group to its application in the life of a Christian.

		In November he caught smallpox and was seriously ill, so that the book was not given to the world till the spring of 1724 (and then of course, as it had no privilege, appeared privately).
		The book was condemned (June 10, 1734), the copies seized and burned, a warrant issued against the author, and his dwelling searched.
		He himself was safe in the independent duchy of Lorraine with Emilie de Breteuil, marquise du Chatelet, with whom he began to be intimate in 1733; he had now taken up his abode with her at the château of Cirey.

		The first book of Homilies was issued (1547) when the policy of licensing a few preachers and silencing others was carried to an extreme.
		A later second book, issued under Elizabeth (before 1563), was lengthier, less interesting and feebler in style than the first book, in which Cranmer’s own homilies have all the fine characteristics of his other works.
		The age was one of confessions and formulae of faith, and the English documents of this kind compare favourably with those of other lands.

	Editor1
		The Prayer Book, by the rubric in the Communion Service, carried with it the Homilies; and accordingly we find a new edition of them with the date of the same year, which no doubt was ready for use at the same time.
		These particulars have served to convince me that the unique volume in the British Museum exhibits the Second Book of Homilies exactly in the state in which it was approved by the two Houses of Convocation, and that it is the identical volume which was presented to Queen Elizabeth when her royal assent was asked.
		That Homily was written early in 1570, was first published separately, passed rapidly through five editions, and in 1571 was annexed to the Second Book by the addition of its title at the end of the Article "Of Homilies" when the Thirty-nine Articles were again approved and confirmed by Convocation.

		Composed for the ambo, not the study, the reader will sense that these homilies were authored for people in the act of liturgy and not merely as an academic exercise.
		They are genuinely liturgical homilies that start from life and end with encouragement for the day by day living out of faith, hope, and charity.

	Certain Sermons or Homilies (1547) and A Homily against Disobedience and Wilful Rebellion (1570) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Tudor homilies, as Ronald B. Bond points out, bring to fruition the efforts of Archbishop Cranmer to make a book of sermons that could be propagated throughout the realm.
		The texts are introduced by a history of the Tudor homilies; an essay on the theme, organization, and style of the first book; another on the Northern Rising and Against Rebellion; and a note on the texts and Bond's editorial treatment.
		It seems a pity merely to identify the source, for this is one of those biblical passages, like 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live' and 'He that spareth his rod hateth his son,' which have been used through the centuries, and in certain quarters are still used, to prop up tyrannical power.

	The Homilies
		In January 1542, the governing body of the Church of England (the Convocation of the Archbishopric of Canterbury) agreed to issue prescribed homilies, or sermons, to be used by unschooled clergy in preaching.
		A Second Book of Homilies was issued during the reign of Elizabeth I with 21 additions.
		Again, the political role of the Church is evident in the 21st homily, "Against Rebellion," added in 1571 in response to the Northern Rebellion of 1569.

		Along with the Bible in English, the Prayerbook and the Articles, the Book of Homilies (First Book-- 1547, Second Book-- 1563) were intended to present a full diet of faith, worship, doctrine, and scriptural teaching from the reformed yet catholic faith of the Anglican Reformation.
		These readable homilies (based on the Prayerbook Collect, Epistle and Gospel for holy communion) were to be preached in church, often to help "disaffected and unlearned" clergy teach the faith clearly to lay-people.
		The homilies of the Second Book are thought to have been written mainly by Bishop Jewel in 1563.

		That the authorities did not make a revision on the basis of the First Book was a profound misfortune for the Church; but considering what had happened in Mary's reign, the wonder is that the Queen in her wisdom was able to counteract the extremists as much as she did.
		In 1560 the Prayer Book was published in Latin; and in the same year was issued the first of those Additional Services by which our worship has been enriched from time to time in succeeding ages.
		We cannot understand the subsequent history of the Prayer Book unless we realize the depth of this madness which fastened upon England —; a madness which is only becoming extinct in the 20th century.

	Tract Number 90--The Homilies.
		This Article has been treated of in No. 82 of these Tracts, in the course of an answer given to an opponent, who accused its author of not fairly receiving the Homilies, because he dissented from their doctrine, that the Bishop of Rome is Antichrist, and that regeneration was vouchsafed under the law.
		In spite of ten thousand incidental propositions, as in any large book, there is, it is obvious, a certain line of doctrine, which may be contemplated continuously in its shape and direction.
		The Homilies are subsidiary to the Articles; therefore they are of authority so far as they bring out the sense of the Articles, and are not of authority where they do not.

		Thomas Cranmer broached the idea of a Book of Homilies in 1539, but it was not authorized by the Church's Convocation until 1542.
		Within a year the twelve homilies of the first book were collected and edited by Cranmer, who also wrote at least five of them.
		The first six homilies present distinctive Protestant theology, namely the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, the radical sinfulness of man, justification by faith alone (entitled "Of the Salvation of All Mankind"), evangelical faith, and sanctification.

		Moreover, in the Book of Homilies, which remains a sort of official commentary on the teaching of the Church of England, the Bible is described quite clearly as 'God's infallible Word'.
		The Book of Homilies contains an exhortation on reading Scripture, particularly in having humility when claiming that Scripture is in error.

	BatesLine: Anglican Books of Homilies
		The Thirty-Nine Articles, the statement of faith adopted by the Church of England in 1563, has an article devoted to something called the Second Book of Homilies -- a book of sermons commended for reading in the churches -- and in another article makes specific mention of a homily on justification.
		For some reason I thought of that again today, and sure enough the two Books of Homilies are available on the web.
		It appears that the intent of publishing these books was to ensure that each parish could provide its parishoners with a basic education in doctrine (e.g.

		The first book of twelve (12) written sermons was published in the reign of Edward VI in 1547, and the second book of twenty-one (21) in the reign of Elizabeth in 1563.
		The topics of the first book of homilies are: sin, salvation, justification, faith, good works and the Christian life of faithfulness and obedience.
		It is surprising that the Homilies have not enriched the language with proverbial phrases as have the Bible and the Prayer Book.

		Q: In response to the problem of boring and scattered homilies, the synod suggested that homilies be "mystagogic," namely, that they become a genuine initiation in the mysteries that baptized persons are living and celebrating at that moment.
		Bishop López: The homily might be inspired by the readings and applied to the mystery being celebrated, or inspired by the mystery or sacrament being celebrated -- for example, when baptism or confirmation is administered -- illuminating it with the help of the readings to introduce the faithful more profoundly in what they are living.
		The homily can be a place for the development of doctrine (probably, in fact, the best place for it), but for it to be a true development is has to always start from the Word of God itself, whether contained in Scripture or Tradition.
