About this book
In the turbulent religious landscape of the early 16th century, John Fryth, imprisoned in the Tower of London, penned a bold theological treatise addressing Sir Thomas More's critique of his views on the Eucharist. "A boke made by John Fryth, prysoner in the Tower of London" challenges the prevailing doctrines surrounding the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, advocating for a more personal interpretation of faith. Fryth's work emphasizes the significance of individual belief and the right to question established authority, making it a vital read for students, historians, and civic activists interested in the evolution of religious thought and unalienable rights. This document not only reflects Fryth's courageous stance but also serves as a crucial piece in understanding the Reformation's impact on society.
