John Frith

Sull'autore

John Frith was a prominent figure of the English Reformation, known for his writings and theological contributions during the early 16th century. A close associate of William Tyndale, Frith's works focused on the interpretation of scripture and the principles of faith and works. He was a staunch advocate for the translation of the Bible into English, believing that access to the scriptures was essential for true understanding and faith. His notable works include 'Dyuers Frutful Gatheri[n]ges Of Scrypture Concetnyng Fayth And Workes', which addressed various theological issues of his time.

Frith's life was marked by his commitment to reforming the Church and challenging the prevailing doctrines of the Catholic Church. However, his beliefs led him to face persecution, ultimately resulting in his martyrdom. His influence can be seen in the writings of later reformers, and he remains a significant figure in the history of English Protestantism. Despite his tragic end, Frith's legacy continues through the works he left behind and the impact he had on the Reformation movement in England.
