In historical studies of English Catholicism the eighteenth century described as a period of persecution without martyrdom has been largely passed over That neglect is wholly unwarranted The foundation of the modern Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales dates to 1688 and over the next century and a half Catholic recusants overcame discrimination and oppression to win full citizenship and by degrees the mission emerged from its seclusion in rural backwaters to take a prominent place in the cities and towns Moreover the defining characteristics of the old recusant community changed almost completely amounting to nothing less than a radical transformation of their social structure and outlook This is an important study of postReformation English Catholic history in one of the traditional strongholds of recusancy It consists of a careful and extensive survey of both laity and clergy and shows how they bravely held their own in the wider society of the northeast despite their deprivations A major feature of the book is the collection of the individual histories of all the chapels and churches in the region from their foundation Such a comprehensive account has not been attempted before and is therefore a major contribution to the narrative of the development of English Catholicism

In this situation I can highly recommend Dr Thomas Schirrmachers new book It gives a clear and logical insight in many of the questions even people who consider themselves nonreligious people now ask It can best be read with an open Bible and some open daily newspaper It will give a surprisingly new insight into what it means to live in a time like this From the preface by the Very Rev Johan Candelin Director of the Religious Liberty Commission of the World Evangelical Alliance Suffering comes in many forms but the one that Scripture tells all Christians to expect is persecution for ones faith As Thomas Schirrmachers theological study will demonstrate the Bible has a tremendous amount to teach us about persecution Without a Biblical understanding we are unlikely to fully grasp the nature of the spiritual battle I am delighted therefore that his book puts the Bibles teaching on persecution centre stage Preface by Julia DoxatPurser SocioPoliticalRepresentative amp Religious Liberty Coordinator for the European Evangelical Alliance

This work examines the stages by which religious dissidents were persecuted by Tudor monarchs across the 16th century and the means by which these dissidents counteracted authorities During each stage of persecution many dissidents were able to elude capture counterinterrogate their inquisitors use time in prison to write letters and prepare for death and exploit their own executions to forge a final drama of suffering and redemption before a large public audience Enforcement was always dependent upon cooperation from the public and local officials which made successful persecution uncertain at best This text explores the details of this system of enforcement and the means by which it was subverted It also discusses larger questions concerning obedience and disobedience tolerance and intolerance and the dynamics of martyrdom

This volume brings together seven seminal papers by the great radical historian Geoffrey de Ste Croix who died in 2000 on early Christian topics with a special focus on persecution and martyrdom Christian martyrdom is a topic which conjures up ready images of inhumane persecutors confronted by Christian heroes who perish for the instant but win the longterm battle for reputation In five of these essays Ste Croix scrutinizes the evidence to reveal the significant role of Christians themselves first as volunteer martyrs and later after the triumph of Christianity in the early fourth century as organizers of much more effective persecutions A sixth essay pursues the question of the control of Christianity through a comprehensive study of the context for one of the Churchs most important and divisive doctrinal decisions at the Council of Chalcedon AD 451 the key role of the emperor and his senior secular officials is revealed contrary to the prevailing interpretation of Church historians Finally the attitudes of the early Church towards property and slavery are reviewed to show the divide between the Gospel message and actual practice

In The Myth of Persecution Candida Moss a leading expert on early Christianity reveals how the early church exaggerated invented and forged stories of Christian martyrs and how the dangerous legacy of a martyrdom complex is employed today to silence dissent and galvanize a new generation of culture warriorsAccording to cherished church tradition and popular belief before the Emperor Constantine made Christianity legal in the fourth century early Christians were systematically persecuted by a brutal Roman Empire intent on their destruction As the story goes vast numbers of believers were thrown to the lions tortured or burned alive because they refused to renounce Christ These saints Christianitys inspirational heroes are still venerated todayMoss however exposes that the Age of Martyrs is a fictionthere was no sustained 300yearlong effort by the Romans to persecute Christians Instead these stories were pious exaggerations highly stylized rewritings of Jewish Greek and Roman noble death traditions and even forgeries designed to marginalize heretics inspire the faithful and fund churchesThe traditional story of persecution is still taught in Sunday school classes celebrated in sermons and employed by church leaders politicians and media pundits who insist that Christians wereand always will bepersecuted by a hostile secular world While violence against Christians does occur in select parts of the world today the rhetoric of persecution is both misleading and rooted in an inaccurate history of the early church Moss urges modern Christians to abandon the conspiratorial assumption that the world is out to get Christians and rather embrace the consolation moral instruction and spiritual guidance that these martyrdom stories provide

Between 1535 and 1603 more than 200 English Catholics were executed by the State for treason Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary sources Anne Dillon examines the ways in which these executions were transformed into acts of martyrdom Utilizing the reports from the gallows the Catholic community in England and in exile created a wide range of manuscripts and texts in which they employed the concept of martyrdom for propaganda purposes in continental Europe and for shaping Catholic identity and encouraging recusancy at home Particularly potent was the derivation of images from these texts which provided visual means of conveying the symbol of the martyr Through an examination of the work of Richard Verstegan and the martyr murals of the English College in Rome the book explores the influence of these images on the Counter Reformation Church the Jesuits and the political intentions of English Catholics in exile and those of their hosts The Construction of Martyrdom in the English Catholic Community 15351603 shows how Verstegan used the English martyrs in his Theatrum crudelitatum of 1587 to rally support from Catholics on the Continent for a Spanish invasion of England to overthrow Elizabeth I and her government The English martyr was Anne Dillon argues as much a construction of international political rhetoric as it was of English religious and political debate an international Catholic banner around which Catholic European powers were urged to rally
