Produktbeschreibung

My heart is steadfast, O God After the deaths of Henry VIII and his son Edward VI, Henry's daughter Mary Tudor ascended the English throne (reigned 1553-58). Upon her coronation, England was again thrown into turmoil, with Catholicism reinstated after Henry's Protestant turn. One of those who took a prominent stand against the reinstitution of Catholicism was John Philpot. Philpot took part in public debates with Catholic spokesmen until he was arrested for his attacks on the doctrine of transubstantiation. He spent eighteen months in Newgate prison. During that time he was "examined" fourteen times and finally convicted as a heretic. He was taken to Smithfield in London on December 18, 1555, and after reciting Psalms 106, 107, and 108, he was burned at the stake.

Autorenporträt

John Philpot, served as Archdeacon of Winchester. Philpot was a man of great learning, with knowledge not only of the Bible but of its languages, especially Hebrew. He was arrested and tried as a heretic, for refusing to recant his protestant beliefs. He was able to preserve secret notes about his hearings. Much of this material was later printed by John Foxe in his Actes and Monuments (better known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs). He was martyred in 1555.
