| Description: |
In the 482 years since his death, Thomas More continues to attract worldwide admiration. He accepted an ignominious death rather than cave in to his monarch’s marriage caprices. Why did he persist in an action that he knew could destroy him, his family, and his accomplishments?
Inside the Mind of Thomas More, by Louis Karlin and David Oakley, tells why. The authors sift through the issues brought up in his trial, and explain how More justified himself by analyzing his spiritual writings which poured out during his imprisonment for months before his execution. He led an extraordinary life, an exemplary Catholic deeply immersed in various circles as an intellectual, lawyer, husband, family man and shrewd politician and statesman. Canonization came 400 years after his death.
This book explains how More fought to save both himself and the Catholic Church and did not regret the risk he took in gambling with his own life. He courageously resisted what he saw as morally wrong. He foresaw how King Henry’s action to dissolve the Catholic Church would unleash a century of religious warfare which spread throughout Europe. |
