Publisher's Synopsis
The English Works of John Fisher, Part 1 is a book compiled by John E. B. Mayor and published in 1876. It is a collection of works written by John Fisher, an English bishop and theologian who lived in the 15th and 16th centuries. The book is divided into several sections, including sermons, letters, and treatises on various topics such as the sacraments, the Eucharist, and the authority of the Pope. The works in this book provide insight into the religious and political turmoil of the time, as Fisher was a prominent figure in the English Reformation and was ultimately executed for his refusal to acknowledge King Henry VIII as the head of the Church of England. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars and students of English history, theology, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
