Description

Published early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, of England, only five years after the death of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary, the work is an affirmation of the Protestant Reformation in England All the way through the ongoing period of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. For the reason that English monarchs also asserted keep an eye on over the Church in England, a change in rulers could change the legal status of religious practices. As a consequence, adherents of one religion risked judicial execution by the State depending on the attitudes of the rulers. All the way through Mary’s reign, common people of Christian faith were publicly burned on the stake in an try to get rid of dissension from Catholic doctrines. Foxe’s account of Mary’s reign and the martyrdoms that took place All the way through it contributed very significantly to the belief in a distinction from the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope as a central aspect of English national identity. By compiling his record, Foxe intended to demonstrate a historical justification for the foundation of the Church of England as a recent embodiment of the real and faithful church, moderately than as a newly established Christian denomination.
