Description
Five English Reformers
By: J.C. Ryle
Few martyr’s words can be more stirring than those of Bishop ugh Lartimer’s to Dr. Nicholas Ridley:
Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man. We shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace. in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
But why were such men burned at the stake? What were the great convictions in which they lived and for which they were prepared to sacrifice lie itself? What made their lives and testimony to Christ’s gospel so powerful? Do Christians today share either their convictions or their faithfulness?
It was the increasing conviction that martyrs, though dead, can still speak to the church, which led Bishop J.C. Ryle to pen these pungent biographies of Five English Reformers last century. Along with an analysis of the reasons for their martyrdom he pointed out the salient characteristics of their Christian lives. Such men still prove to be examples, warnings and challenges all in one, to Christians to-day. Readers will rise from the company of their lie stories praying for a similar faith in Christ’s power.
