Enemies of the Pope: Protestant Heroes and Catholic Villains?
Faith, Fire, and the Fight for the English Soul
Volume VIII of The Crown and the Cross series
Was Sir Thomas More a saint or a ruthless persecutor? Was Guy Fawkes a freedom fighter or a fanatic? In this provocative and deeply researched volume, Enemies of the Pope explores the tangled legacies of some of the most controversial figures in England's religious wars. From William Tyndale's outlawed Bible to Elizabeth I's divine queenship, from Jesuit missionaries under torture to Protestant spies in royal courts, this book dives into the human stories behind the ideological warfare.
Volume VIII in the Crown and the Cross series, this book takes a character-driven approach to uncovering how history has remembered — and misremembered — its martyrs, traitors, and heroes. It examines how Protestant England built national myths through biographies, trials, propaganda, and canonizations, shaping how generations came to see Catholicism as threat and Protestantism as destiny.
With rich narrative detail and uncompromising analysis, Enemies of the Pope confronts the myths that have long divided memory and morality.
Inside you'll find:
Perfect for readers of historical theology, political intrigue, and the battle between memory and power.
