PDF Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah: His Personalities and His Politics by S. M. Burke; Salim AL-Din Quraish in History

Description

Bishop John Fisher was a scholar and theologian of European reputation; famous as a preacher and author of the first sermon-sequence to be printed in English. He was beheaded for his opposition to Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and pursued after his death by the enmity of the king; who suppressed his books and sought to blacken his name. John Fisher's English writings are distinctive for their structured elegance and clarity. This new edition contains sermons written during the last fifteen years of Fisher's life; including a previously unpublished eyewitness account of the Field of Cloth of Gold celebrations; and devotional works composed while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London.
