The Themata can be dated to the early to mid- 1540s, and was composed by Ascham while still at Cambridge University and serving as a senior fellow at St John’s College. The work mainly comprises a compendium of relatively short commentaries on Scriptural verses (both Old and New Testament), many of which developed into expositions on difficult philosophical concepts, such as the notion of felix culpa (literally, ‘happy fault’) and some of the most intractable theological questions of the day, including the nature of sin, adiaphora (‘matters of indifference’), justification and free will. This little-known text offers a rare opportunity to trace the course of Ascham’s own religious maturation, but also offers fresh insights into the confessional climate at Cambridge University during one of the most turbulent periods of the Reformation in England.
