Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventeen Suffolk Martyrs Neglect of the lessons of Ecclesiastical History is characteristic of the age in which we live. Never was the history itself so much studied, never were its lessons so little used as a guide for the present. Historical facts there are which it is thought convenient to ignore. For it is another characteristic of the day to find excuses for all the past however deserving of blame. As a necessary result of this condoning of evil is the oblivion which has fallen on sufferers for righteousness' sake. Who thinks now of the great army of martyrs, who, in our own land, have in time past laid down their lives for the truth? The oppressors are lauded, the oppressed are forgotten if not blamed. The persecutors are thought well of, the men and women whom they have trampled under foot and killed are forgotten. The following pages shew that, hidden from the eyes of the English nation, there are records of holy martyrs and confessors, suspected of what they called heresy, sometimes tracked out by spies, hunted, condemned, treated as the offscouring of all things by the body which laid claim to the title of the Catholic Church.

Download or read book Victoria Protestantism and Bloody Mary written by P. L. Wickins and published by Arena books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important and interesting book on aspects of our religious heritage which until now have escaped the investigation of scholars. History is all too often employed as a weapon for smiting the "infidel." So it was among religiously-minded people in 19th century England. By the beginning of the Victorian era, after the somnolence of the 18th century, religious enthusiasm among both clergy and laity in the established Church revived. This brought about such acrimonious differences it was a wonder they could be accommodated in the same Church. Provoked by a group of Oxford scholars who sought to show that the Church of England was neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant but a middle way between the two, Protestant militants were aroused to demonstrate against and even disrupt church services of which they disapproved. To remind English men and women of the glories of the Reformation they erected memorials in many towns to celebrate the heroic reputation of the martyrs who suffered in the reign of 'Bloody Mary.' Memorials required names and to find out who the victims were and where they met their end the memorial committees turned to the pages of John Foxe's Acts and Monuments of the Christian Martyrs, better known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs. A most effective work of propaganda in the days of religious warfare, it was reprinted in new editions. Now the target was no longer the Church of Rome, but the Anglo-Catholics or the alleged 'Romanisers.' A perplexing problem for the historian is what the Protestant martyrs actually believed. It is clearly naive to suppose that they died for 19th century parliamentary democracy and liberties. Foxe's criterion of Protestant martyrdom was hatred of Rome and in his anxiety to drum up the numbers he was reticent about or ignorant of the widely varying beliefs of his martyrs. The assumption of the 19th century Protestants was that the English people rose as one to reject popery, but it is impossible to accurately assess the support for state-imposed religious change. Surviving evidence, as the preamble to wills, seems to suggest that people for the most part simply acquiesced in what the government of the day decided was the 'true' religion.
Download or read book Remembering the Reformation written by Alexandra Walsham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stimulating volume explores how the memory of the Reformation has been remembered, forgotten, contested, and reinvented between the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries. Remembering the Reformation traces how a complex, protracted, and unpredictable process came to be perceived, recorded, and commemorated as a transformative event. Exploring both local and global patterns of memory, the contributors examine the ways in which the Reformation embedded itself in the historical imagination and analyse the enduring, unstable, and divided legacies that it engendered. The book also underlines how modern scholarship is indebted to processes of memory-making initiated in the early modern period and challenges the conventional models of periodisation that the Reformation itself helped to create. This collection of essays offers an expansive examination and theoretically engaged discussion of concepts and practices of memory and Reformation. This volume is ideal for upper level undergraduates and postgraduates studying the Reformation, Early Modern Religious History, Early Modern European History, and Early Modern Literature.
