By What Authority by Robert Hugh Benson Paperback Book

Description: By What Authority by Robert Hugh Benson, Joseph Pearce, Jerzy Ozga The fates of two young people caught in a conflict of ideals is the theme of this stirring and tragic novel, set in the England of Elizabeth I. At a time when following the Old Religion resulted in penalties stretching from heavy fines to imprisonment and death, Puritan-bred Anthony and Isabel Norris find themselves drawn to the Church of their forefathers. Underlying their struggles and conflicts with Protestant England is the strength and vitality of Catholic Church supporting and drawing the characters into Her embrace. In a story which delves into the deepest reaches of the Catholic and Anglican dilemma, Benson weaves together the lives of his characters and their encounters with central figures in English Reformation history in order to praise and defend the England that was, the England that is truly England: the Catholic England. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914), the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, was educated at Eton and Trinity College. Drawn toward the High-Church tradition, Benson was ordained an Anglican priest by his father, but began to investigate the claims of the Catholic Church during a trip to the Middle East in 1896. He converted to Roman Catholicism in 1903 and was ordained to the Catholic priesthood the following year. Amid his various ecclesial duties, he was a well-known preacher and a prolific writer, and his works span many genres, including science and historical fiction, contemporary novels, childrens books, apologetics, plays, poetry, and devotional material. Review PRAISE FOR THE CENACLE PRESS EDITION OF By What Authority?"The reader, if he allows himself to be carried thither, will find himself transported to the late sixteenth century, the terror and tension of the times gripping him as tightly as it grips the leading characters, who gave courageous witness to their faith in a hostile and deadly environment."-from the foreword by Joseph Pearce, author Wisdom and Innocence: A Life of G. K. Chesterton "In a manner that contradicts the biased narrative still taught in many schools, By What Authority? portrays the true impact of the Protestant revolution and its imposition on ordinary people. Actual events are interwoven with the great questions of conscience and religious authority. Yet, the characters cannot be simply described as mouthpieces for conflicting doctrines-the story is a compelling work of literature. I pray that the renewal of interest in Robert Hugh Bensons writings will touch minds and hearts and play their part in the return of the Dowry of Mary, and indeed all who have broken communion with Rome, to the one true fold of the Church."-Fr Patrick ODonohue FSSP, Irish Apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter "Blending wit, chivalry, theological insight, and deep sympathy with all Christians of goodwill, Benson leads the reader inside the minds and hearts of Reformation England, dramatizing how the Lord uses small acts of fidelity to raise up joyful saints and martyrs in every generation. With its lively illustrations and helpful notes, Cenacle Presss new edition is a must-have for every Catholic home (and home-schooling) library."-Melinda Nielsen PhD, Associate Professor of Classical Literature, Baylor University Details ISBN1739624106 Author Jerzy Ozga Pages 600 Year 2022 ISBN-10 1739624106 ISBN-13 9781739624101 Publication Date 2022-05-16 UK Release Date 2022-05-16 Format Paperback Country of Publication Ireland Illustrator Jerzy Ozga Imprint Cenacle Press at Silverstream Priory Publisher Cenacle Press at Silverstream Priory DEWEY FIC Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
