Episode Synopsis

Hey folks, my book is available on Amazon. There is a lot more on Anne, Henry, Elizabeth and the Tudor legacy. It is called ANNE BOLEYN, MOTHER OF THE NATION. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDLSJFG9Drawing on historical sources like Pliny, Lucian, Tacitus, and Josephus, we trace Anne's religious thinking back to early Christian humanism. When Anne said "Lord Jesus, receive my soul" at her execution, she wasn't speaking of a future resurrection but addressing Jesus "in real time"—a radical departure from medieval Catholic doctrine. Archbishop Thomas Cranmer recognized her religious significance when he declared, "She who has been the Queen of England upon earth will today become a Queen in heaven."Anne Boleyn was a progressive who helped reshape England's religious landscape before being vilified as "the Great Whore" and executed in 1536. Her story continues to resonate across the centuries.Send us a textSupport the show
