Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religious chaos that England and Wales had undergone since the late 1520's was renewed after the death of Edward VI. By the time of Edward's death, England had a state church that was very obviously Protestant. Whether Luther inspired it, or Calvin is a separate topic, but all remnants of Catholicism had seemingly been erased. Edward had been educated as a Protestant; there was no surprise at the direction of the Church during his reign. There was also no misperception concerning the course the Church would take with Mary I as Queen. Mary had been educated as a Roman Catholic and she was quite mindful that the issue of religion started with Henry VIII's effort to divorce her mother, Catherine of Aragon. When Mary became queen in 1553, it was a certainty that she would return the Church to both Rome and Catholicism.Mary's strategy was basically to utilize the old penalty for un-repentant religious disagreement, that is, burning at the stake. It is difficult for us in the modern age, instructed as we have been in the ideas of human rights, to conceptualise that in the sixteenth century one was not necessarily a monstrous psychopath to believe that fines, imprisonment, corporal punishment, and even the death penalty were justified in the interest of establishing and maintaining the religious unity of society. Yet we must not trivialize the appalling human cost of Mary's policies. The number of some 300 Protestants burned at the stake in 1555 to Mary's death in 1558 makes this one of the most vicious oppressions in the entirety of sixteenth-century Europe. This book contains the stories of women who died for their faith during the reign of the monarch with the sobriquet, "Bloody" Mary.

Who does not love, at the calm still hour of evening, to pace around some venerable church, marking the dents and fissures in its old grey stone-work, which tell how many an age it has withstood the shocks of time; to gaze upon the outline of its antique tower, or tapering spire, as they rise towards heaven--a lively type of hope resting on faith's foundation--and then to glance upon the neighboring yew or elm, coeval in date with its hallowed companion? There is that in the fashion of our old churches, and the scenery generally surrounding them, which, appeals alike to devotional and national feeling; and could we withdraw from these venerable piles the oblivious veil cast over their history by the supine thanklessness of successive generations, we should view in each of them an emphatic memorial, a victorious trophy of the war waged by Popery against the Lamb: of the might whereby He who is King of kings and Lord of lords overcame his blasphemous assailant; and of the deeds of his called, and chosen, and faithful followers, whose voice from within those walls sent forth the sound of the gospel trumpet, through the length and breadth of the land. They watched, perchance, the young growth of those trees, with prayerful aspirations that they might wave, as now they do, over a remote generation of peaceful worshippers. From these very trees, it may be, a sprouting twig was snatched, to serve as a torch for kindling the flames of their martyrdom. The Bible sets before us a system, delineated with marvellous exactness: now presented to us in the person of its chief ruler, as " The man of Sin, the son of Perdition"--" That Wicked r" then in the character of its souldestroying doctrines, as " Antichrist: " and again in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Women Martyrs in Tudor England examines the portrayal of Protestant women martyrs in Tudor martyrology, focusing mainly on John Foxe's Book of Martyrs . Foxe's women martyrs often defy not just ecclesiastically and politically powerful men; they often defy their husbands by chastising them, disobeying them, and even leaving them altogether. While by marrying his female martyrs to Christ Foxe mitigates their subversion of patriarchy, under his pen his heroic women challenge the foundations of social and political order, offering an accessible model for resistance to antichristian rule.

Download or read book Five Women of the English Reformation written by Paul Zahl and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books on the history of the Reformation are filled with the heroic struggles and sacrifices of men. But this compelling volume puts the spotlight on five strong and intellectually gifted women who, because of their absolute and unconditional commitment to the advancement of Protestant Christianity, paid the cost of their reforming convictions with martyrdom, imprisonment, and exile. Anne Boleyn (1507-1536) introduced the Reformation to England, and Katharine Parr (1514-1548) saved it. Both women were riveted by early versions of the "justification by faith" doctrine that originated with Martin Luther and came to them through France. As a result, Anne Boleyn was beheaded. Katharine Parr narrowly avoided the same fate. Sixteen-year-old Jane Grey (1537-1554) and Anne Askew (1521-1546) both dared to criticize the Mass and were pioneers of Protestant views concerning superstition and symbols. Jane Grey was executed because of her Protestantism. Anne Askew was tortured and burned at the stake. Catherine Willoughby (1520-1580) anticipated later Puritan teachings on predestination and election and on the reformation of the church. She was forced to give up everything she had and to flee with her husband and nursing baby into exile. Paul Zahl vividly tells the stories of these five mothers of the English Reformation. All of these women were powerful theologians intensely interested in the religious concerns of their day. All but Anne Boleyn left behind a considerable body of written work - some of which is found in this book's appendices. It is the theological aspect of these women's remarkable achievements that Zahl seeks to underscore. Moreover, he also considers what the stories of these women have to say about the relation of gender to theology, human motivation, and God. An important epilogue by Mary Zahl contributes a contemporary woman's view of these fascinating historical figures. Extraordinary by any standard, Anne Boleyn, Anne Askew, Katharine Parr, Jane Grey, and Catherine Willoughby remain rich subjects for reflection and emulation hundreds of years later. The personalities of these five women, who spoke their Christian convictions with presence of mind and sharp intelligence within situations of life-and-death duress, are almost totemic in our enduring search for role models.

Download or read book The Construction of Martyrdom in the English Catholic Community, 1535-1603 written by Anne Dillon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1535 and 1603, more than 200 English Catholics were executed by the State for treason. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary sources, Anne Dillon examines the ways in which these executions were transformed into acts of martyrdom. Utilizing the reports from the gallows, the Catholic community in England and in exile created a wide range of manuscripts and texts in which they employed the concept of martyrdom for propaganda purposes in continental Europe and for shaping Catholic identity and encouraging recusancy at home. Particularly potent was use of visual means to convey martyrdom. Through an examination of the work of Richard Verstegan and the martyr murals of the English College in Rome, the book explores the influence of these images on the Counter Reformation Church, the Jesuits, and the political intentions of English Catholics in exile and those of their hosts. Verstegan used the English martyrs in his Theatrum crudelitatum of 1587 to rally support from Catholics on the Continent for a Spanish invasion of England to overthrow Elizabeth I and her government. The English martyr was, Dillon argues, as much a construction of international, political rhetoric as it was of English religious and political debate.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Katherine Willoughby, duchess of Suffolk, was one of the highest-ranking noblewomen in sixteenth-century England. She wielded considerable political power in her local community and at court, and her social status and her commitment to religious reform placed her at the centre of the political and religious developments that shaped the English Reformation." "By focusing on her kinship and patronage network, this book offers an examination of the development of Protestantism in the governing classes during the period. The importance of gender in the process of spiritual transformation emerges clearly from this study, showing how the changing religious climate provided new opportunities for women to exert greater influence in their society."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book The Debate on the English Reformation written by Rosemary O’Day and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of The debate on the English Reformation combines a discussion of successive historical approaches to the English Reformation with a critical review of recent debates in the area, offering a major contribution to modern historiography as well as to Reformation studies. It explores the way in which successive generations have found the Reformation relevant to their own times and have in the process rediscovered, redefined and rewritten its story. It shows that not only people who called themselves historians but also politicians, ecclesiastics, journalists and campaigners argued about interpretations of the Reformation and the motivations of its principal agents. The author also shows how, in the twentieth century, the debate was influenced by the development of history as a subject and, in the twenty-first century, by state control of the academy. Undergraduates, researchers and lecturers alike will find this an invaluable and essential companion to their studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern religious identities are rooted in collective memories that are constantly made and remade across generations. How do these mutations of memory distort our picture of historical change and the ways that historical actors perceive it? Can one give voice to those whom history has forgotten? The essays collected here examine the formation of religious identities during the Reformation in Germany through case studies of remembering and forgetting—instances in which patterns and practices of religious plurality were excised from historical memory. By tracing their ramifications through the centuries, Archeologies of Confession carefully reconstructs the often surprising histories of plurality that have otherwise been lost or obscured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patricia Crawford explores how the study of gender can enhance our understanding of religious history, in this study of women and their apprehensions of God in early modern England.Patricia Crawford demonstrates how the consideration of gender is central to our understanding of religious history. Women and Religion has three broad themes: the role and experience of women in the religious upheaval in the period from the Reformation to the Restoration; the significance of religion to contemporary women, focusing on the range of practices and beliefs; and the gendered nature of religious beliefs, institutions and language in the early modern period.
