Edmund Saint Campion's 'Ten Reasons Proposed to His Adversaries for Disputation in the Name of the Faith' is a profound and intellectually stimulating work that delves into the intricacies of the Catholic faith during a time of religious turmoil. Written in a persuasive and logical style reminiscent of classical rhetoric, Campion presents ten compelling reasons defending the teachings of Catholicism against its adversaries, offering a unique insight into the theological debates of the era. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of religious history and those interested in understanding the intellectual foundations of the Catholic faith. Edmund Saint Campion, a Jesuit priest and renowned theologian, was a key figure in the Counter-Reformation and known for his eloquent defense of Catholic doctrine. His profound knowledge and unwavering faith led him to engage in scholarly debates and intellectual discourse, making significant contributions to the Catholic intellectual tradition. I highly recommend 'Ten Reasons Proposed to His Adversaries for Disputation in the Name of the Faith' to readers who seek a deeper understanding of Catholic theology and its defense in the face of opposition. Campion's erudite arguments and eloquent writing make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religious thought.

Gerard Kilroy here draws on newly discovered manuscript sources to reveal Campion as a charismatic and affectionate scholar who was finding fulfilment as priest and teacher in Prague when he was summoned to lead the first Jesuit mission to England. The book offers fresh insights into the dramatic search for Campion, the populist nature of the disputations in the Tower, and the legal issues raised by his torture. It was the monarchical republic itself that made him the beloved ‘champion’ of the English Catholic community. Edmund Campion presents the most detailed and comprehensive picture to date of an historical figure whose loyalty and courage, in the trial and on the scaffold, swiftly became legendary across Europe.

Truth is stranger than fiction. And nowhere in literature is it so apparent as in this classic work, "The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest." This autobiography of a Jesuit priest in Elizabethan England is a most remarkable document and John Gerard, its author, a most remarkable priest in a time when to be a Catholic in England courted imprisonment and torture; to be a priest was treason by act of Parliament. Smuggled into England after his ordination and dumped on a Norfolk beach at night, Fr. Gerard disguised himself as a country gentleman and traveled about the country saying Mass, preaching and ministering to the faithful in secret always in constant danger. The houses in which he found shelter were frequently raided by priest hunters; priest-holes, hide-outs and hair-breadth escapes were part of his daily life. He was finally caught and imprisoned, and later removed to the infamous Tower of London where he was brutally tortured. The stirring account of his escape, by means of a rope thrown across the moat, is a daring and magnificent climax to a true story which, for sheer narrative power and interest, far exceeds any fiction. Here is an accurate and compelling picture of England when Catholics were denied their freedom to worship and endured vicious persecution and often martyrdom. But more than the story of a single priest, "The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest" epitomizes the constant struggle of all human beings through the ages to maintain their freedom. It is a book of courage and of conviction whose message is most timely for our age.
