This
volume compiles three works by Puritan divine William Fulke. In Stapleton’s
Fortress Overthrown, Fulke rails against the Catholic faith and its
presence in England. In A Rejoinder, William Fulke joins James Calfhill
in attacking John Martiall’s Treatise of the Cross, as Fulke decries the
use of images of Christ in the crucifix. And lastly, A Discovery
addresses the writings of English Catholic Nicholas Sanders, and criticizes the
origin of the Catholic Church and its authority.
Fulke’s
spirited writings represent some of the most colorful and radical writings of
the English Reformation, shedding light on the evangelical fringes of the
Reformation in England.
William
Fulke
(1538–1589) was an English Puritan divine, and a leading figure in the
vestments controversy over English church identity.
