"This exhaustive masterpiece traces the period of the repression in the seventeenth century, analysing the persecution and its aftermath. The unique feature of this scholarly and very readable work is that it examines the way those persecuted responded to hardship - their faith, their worship, their perseverance. With marvellous warmth Raymond Brown shows us the spirituality of these men and women - a spirituality centred on Jesus Christ and the Father's love, even in such times."--Publisher's description
