Excerpt from A Brief Declaration of the Lord's Supper
The plan Of the present work needs little ex planation. The motive and centre of the book is the Treatise on the Eucharist written by Bishop Ridley, in prison at Oxford, probably some time in 1554. Besides the matter more immediately connected with this Treatise, the Biographical Sketch which fills the first pages of the volume will be found to refer to it, so far as the Sketch brings out the history of Ridley's convictions on eucharistic doctrine and illustrates their bearing upon his labours and his sufferings.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and work of Nicholas Ridley, a significant figure in the English Reformation. It explores his intellectual journey, his influential role in shaping the Church of England, and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs, culminating in his martyrdom. The book explores the turbulent religious landscape of sixteenth-century England, where Ridley navigated the complex and often dangerous world of theological debate and political upheaval.

The book illuminates a pivotal moment in religious history, revealing the struggle between traditional beliefs and the emerging ideals of the Reformation.
