註釋""A Valiant Bishop Against A Ruthless King: The Life Of St. John Fisher"" by Paul McCann is a biography of the life of Saint John Fisher, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church during the 16th century. Fisher was a bishop who stood up against the tyrannical rule of King Henry VIII, refusing to recognize his authority over the Church of England. The book explores Fisher's life, from his early years as a scholar to his appointment as Bishop of Rochester, and his eventual martyrdom for his beliefs. McCann delves into the political and religious climate of the time, providing context for Fisher's actions and the challenges he faced. With a focus on Fisher's unwavering commitment to his faith and his refusal to compromise his principles, ""A Valiant Bishop Against A Ruthless King"" is a compelling account of a man who stood up for what he believed in, even in the face of persecution and death.This is a new release of the original 1938 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
