The English Reformers

A brief exchange and suggested inquiries by myself and a friend on FB about the English Reformers.
My friend's name was editted to XXXXX.

XXXXX.  a good, brief, succinct, well-documented and multi-purposed summary is in order beyond Ryle's English Reformers. That is, 10-page summaries of each Reformer, again, with footnotes that are readable, accurate, scholarly, informative, and motivational even--from Cranmer to Hall, across 80 years.  Ryle does a fine job of summarizing 5-6 English Reformers. I'd suggest 10-12, may 15 English Reformers. Something that poor children and high schoolers could digest. Something PhDs would handily use for collegians. Something PhDs would recognize as a definitive summary with suggestive directions for research. Something Mums and Dads--rich and poor--could access, ponder and draw encouragement. The LORD knows well enough our exile.
