Ep.133 - The Road to Reformation: Fugitives, Heretics and Heroes of the English Reformation - English Reformation Pt.3

Click here to text us your thoughts and questions!William Tyndale, Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Ridley, Anne Boleyn, John Jewel and John Foxe all carried one thing in common; they each became significant voices in the ongoing growth and development of the English Reformation. From the dogged tenacity of Tyndale, who spent the best part of twelve years on the run as a fugitive across Europe being declared Britains most wanted; to the studious balance of Jewel, and the bold abandon of Foxe, each of these characters stood for what they believed and in some cases would pay the ultimate price! In this eleventh episode of our series, The Reformation Road, the Curious team embark on a glorious hike through the landscapes of six key figures who helped shape not only the English reformation of their time, but its future direction. They will ponder their great sacrifices, their formidable challenges, and their unspeakable courage; as well as highlight those friends and allies who offered much needed encouragement and support. Tune in this week as the team conclude this third and final part exploring the English reformation.Further ReadingHere’s a bit of homework for you that offers some insight into this weeks theme…William Tyndale - Christianity.org.ukThe British Candle - DesiringGod.orgAnne Boleyn Facts - HistoryExtra.comBishop John Jewel - ElizabethFiles.comJohn Foxe Biography - dhi.ac.ukWhat we’re reading?As a feature to our notes, we are adding the book or books that we’ve been browsing and reading as part of this series.
