James
Pilkington was an influential English Reformer, contributing to the 39 Articles and the Book of Common Prayer. This collection
of his works features his expositions on Haggai, Obadiah, and Nehemiah, as well
as his Answers to Popish Questions and other miscellaneous letters and
sermons. His work is representative of the deep conflict that accompanied
religious discussion in England during the Reformation.
James
Pilkington
(1520–1576) was the first Protestant bishop of Durham, a post he held from 1561
until his death. Like many Protestant clergy, he was exiled during the reign of
Mary I, but returned to England under Elizabeth and founded the Rivington
Grammar School.
