Summary

This chapter reviews the accounts of several university disputations that took place in England 1547–1555. The disputations examined here have one thing in common: their entanglement with the Reformation, which centred in no small part on the immensely complex issue of the Eucharist. These disputations were held in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and in London, and comprise a mixture of public and private disputations between Protestants and other Protestants, and between Protestants and Catholics. All were organized by university men or involved them. A primary aim of the chapter is to show how each of these disputations had a broader significance for the course of religious change in England, reflecting and driving religious orthodoxy much more than previously acknowledged. The records for these disputations survive in a variety of forms. The imprint of each is embedded in a subsequent write-up (all of which may be loosely termed dissertationes). As disparate as the evidence for such disputations is, when considered side by side – chronologically and thematically – as they are here for the first time, it is possible to chart the fitful ebbs and flows of debate surrounding one of the most contested and long-lasting areas of conflict in the Reformation.
