This book assembles ten special studies, each devoted to an aspect
of Fisher's multifaceted career or to exploring the intellectual
and religious outlook of someone who was at the same time a
moderniser, a reformer and an opponent of the Reformation. John
Fisher's career provides an illuminating perspective on English
religious and intellectual history in a crucial phase of
development. As a churchman he became the foremost preacher in
England, issuing a call to ecclesiastical reform and personal
repentance that echoed the call of Savonarola at Florence. At the
same time he provides an early example of the pastoral bishop that
was to become the ideal of both the Reformation and the Counter
Reformation. Finally in the crisis that paved the way for the
English Reformation, he became the leading defender of Queen
Catherine against the divorce suit of Henry VIII. He was among the
small band who were executed in 1535 as conscientious objectors to
the oaths of Succession and Royal Ecclesiastical Supremacy. He has
been venerated as a Catholic martyr ever since.
