When Robert Demaus (1829-1874) wrote his definitive biography of Hugh Latimer, he was determined to outline all the Reformer’s faults and failures as well as his successes. He soon discovered that there was scarcely a shadow to be found in the life of the ardent scholar who became the voice of the Reformation in England. Any biography of Latimer must therefore be a panegyric to the over-flowing grace of God made evident in the courageous life and martyr’s death of this great man.


This month's article is a biographical sketch of Hugh Latimer, lauded by many as an "Apostle of England". It is good for us to read of the lives of those who have gone before us, especially those who had to defend their faith even with their very lives. When we think that our current trial is unbearable, knowing what some of our forefathers in the faith have sacrificed our present situation often seems trivial. Be encouraged therefore by those who have gone before you.
