Library Lecture Last Week

I ommitted to mention the excellent lecture we had last week on zoom in connection with the Evangelical Library. It was the third and fina lecture of the current series. Stuart Fisher from Bournemouth spoke on the forgotten reformer Thomas Bilney. The illustrated talk should be on the Library's Youtube channel soon.

Thomas Bilney: Forgotten Reformer

This brief little book seeks to rehabilitate the little known martyr Thomas Bilney. Information about Bilney is limited but Stuart Fisher has done a very thorough job in gathering what there is and presenting the material in a warm and devoted way. Two appendices show that Foxe's history can be relied on and that although Bilney recanted once he did not do so a second time. The timeline and the many illustrations add to the attractiveness of the book, part of an excellent Day One series.
