The Christian Knight And An Homily Against Whoredom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425462291)

The Christian Knight And An Homily Against Whoredom is a book written by Thomas Becon, a 16th-century English reformer and theologian. The book contains two separate works, the first being The Christian Knight, which is a treatise on the virtues and responsibilities of a Christian soldier. Becon draws on biblical teachings and the examples of historical figures to provide guidance on how a Christian knight should conduct himself in battle and in daily life.The second work in the book is An Homily Against Whoredom, which is a sermon that condemns the sin of sexual immorality. Becon argues that sexual purity is essential for Christians and that those who engage in fornication, adultery, or other forms of sexual sin are in danger of damnation. He uses examples from the Bible and from history to illustrate the consequences of such behavior and to urge his readers to repent and turn away from sin.Overall, The Christian Knight And An Homily Against Whoredom is a powerful work of Christian literature that offers guidance and inspiration to those seeking to live a virtuous and holy life. It is a testament to Becon's deep faith and his commitment to the cause of religious reform in England during the tumultuous years of the Reformation.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Catechism of Thomas Becon, by Thomas Becon.
