The poet Lord Byron wrote “They never fail who die in a great cause.” Nowhere is this truth more evident than in the deaths of the martyrs whose flaming pyres attest to what happens when either nobleman or commoner decides, for conscience sake, to follow the path to a purer faith. The martyrs paid for their struggle in the priceless coinage of their blood and left a legacy which can never be calculated. In part three of “The Spreading Flame” we turn the focus first to Scotland where persecutions and martyrdoms drove many a virtuous man and woman from their homeland. But then, suddenly, a champion appeared! A man prepared to do battle,...

When Ulrich Zwingli stood up in the Holy Shrine of Einsiedeln and told the pilgrims that the money they spent on indulgences was 'a foolish waste,' it more or less marked the end of his relationship with the church of his fathers. Zwingli was a diligent student of the Bible and it was his faithful proclamation of scriptural truth which did most to bring about reform in Switzerland. His primary object was not the overthrow of the Papacy, although that was indeed the final outcome. His chief aim was the restoration of true religion as he saw it declared in Scripture. Under Zwingli's influence the people came to its fountain...

Intrigue and false promises weave a powerful story of one man's commitment to faith in Jesus Christ. He was summoned to the Council of Constance and promised safety, but he was betrayed.

The history books make little mention of this Bohemian priest and scholar who lived 100 years before Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Yet, John Hus was convinced and taught openly that the Bible should be presented in the language...

God's Outlaw is a thrilling portrayal of the life and work of William Tyndale, whose burning passion to translate the Bible into English upset the religious and political establishment of the day. Tyndale's vision was that the common people--even the plowboys--should be able to read the Holy Scriptures in their own language. Bible reading and even prayers in English were outlawed by a harsh and rigid religious establishment. Perhaps the religious climate of Tyndale's day is best indicated in the retort of a priest with whom Tyndale was one day carrying on a heated debate: "We would be better off without God's law...
