John Frith

John Frith was an English Protestant reformer and martyr, known for his writings that challenged the Catholic Church's doctrines during the Reformation. His notable work, "A boke made by John Fryth, prysoner in the Tower of London," serves as a response to Sir Thomas More's critiques of his earlier treatise on the Eucharist. Frith's theological arguments emphasized the importance of scripture and personal faith, contributing significantly to the discourse on religious reform in the 16th century. His commitment to his beliefs ultimately led to his execution, marking him as a significant figure in the history of religious dissent.
