Synopsis

Rev. John (“the Martyr”) Rogers is a pivotal character in European and Christian history. A former Catholic priest then adherent of the Reformation after studying with colleagues of Martin Luther, he becomes entangled in the political-religious turmoil of the Tudor family on the throne of England. A father of eleven with a Flemish-born wife, his firm belief in the need to read the Bible in the vernacular and the “priesthood of all believers” emboldened him not to recant to save his own life. In the presence of his entire family he was led to the execution pyre in the flames of which he appeared to wash his hands as he gave up his spirit.

About this title

About the Author:

J (Johannes) Froebel-Parker, author of Ahnentafel Series Books, takes us from colonial Salem, Massachusetts, in his last book, "Grandma Rebecka and the Witches' Tree," back to the Tudor Era in England. Inspired by the lives of relatives who appear in paternal and maternal family trees, Froebel-Parker attempts to re-enliven the stories that these ancestors left as a legacy to their descendants and the world. A teacher of English as a new language for adults, the author also taught German and Portuguese as a lecturer at the University at Albany (New York), and English as a second language, kindergarten through twelfth grade, for twenty-eight years in a New York State public school. "Ahnentafel" is the German term for "family tree," which provides unending material for Froebel-Parker's growing body of published work.
