Hugh Latimer: Apostle To The English (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258260507)

Hugh Latimer: Apostle To The English is a biographical book written by Allan Griffith Chester. The book tells the story of Hugh Latimer, a 16th-century English bishop and preacher who played a key role in the Protestant Reformation. Latimer was known for his fiery sermons and his unwavering commitment to the principles of the Reformation, even in the face of persecution and imprisonment. The book traces Latimer's life from his birth in 1487 to his execution in 1555, exploring his early years as a student at Cambridge, his rise to prominence as a preacher and bishop, and his eventual imprisonment and martyrdom under Queen Mary I. Along the way, the book provides a vivid portrait of life in Tudor England, as well as a detailed examination of the religious and political forces that shaped Latimer's life and times. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, including Latimer's own writings and sermons, Chester paints a compelling picture of a man who was both a product of his times and a visionary ahead of his time. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English Reformation, as well as for those seeking to understand the role of religion in shaping the course of English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
