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: 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest centuries, one of the most notable features of Christianity has been the veneration of the saints—the holy dead. This ambitious history tells the fascinating story of the cult of the saints from its origins in the second-century days of the Christian martyrs to the Protestant Reformation. Robert Bartlett examines all of the most important aspects of the saints—including miracles, relics, pilgrimages, shrines, and the saints' role in the calendar, literature, and art. The book explores the central role played by the bodies and body parts of saints, and the special treatment these relics received.
