Excerpt from The Patrimony of the Roman Church: In the Time of Gregory the Great Edward Spearing was killed in action near Delville Wood on September II, 1916, at the age of twenty-six. He was educated at the Perse Grammar School, under Dr W. H. D. Rouse, and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he studied History and Law. He was a Scholar of his college, and obtained a first class in Part I of the Historical Tripos, 1910, and a second class in Part Ii, 1911. In 1912 he was placed first in order of merit in Class II of Part II of the Law Tripos. For the next two years he continued the study of law, and was articled to a Cambridge firm of solicitors. As soon as war broke out he volunteered for service, and was gazetted to a commission in the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment on August 18, 1914. He trained with his battalion in England till the following spring, and in May, 1915, went with it to France. In August of the same year he was promoted lieutenant. He saw heavy fighting round Festubert that summer, and one of his brother officers wrote to a mutual friend: "Spearing is in great form, and is extraordinarily good in the trenches and when there is trouble afoot. He knows everything about the lie of the land and can size up a position in an instant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The annual Lenten pilgrimage to dozens of Rome’s most striking churches is a sacred tradition dating back almost two millennia, to the earliest days of Christianity. Along this historic spiritual pathway, today’s pilgrims confront the mysteries of the Christian faith through a program of biblical and early Christian readings amplified by some of the greatest art and architecture of western civilization. In Roman Pilgrimage, bestselling theologian and papal biographer George Weigel, art historian Elizabeth Lev, and photographer Stephen Weigel lead readers through this unique religious and aesthetic journey with magnificent photographs and revealing commentaries on the pilgrimage’s liturgies, art, and architecture. Through reflections on each day’s readings about faith and doubt, heroism and weakness, self-examination and conversion, sin and grace, Rome’s familiar sites take on a new resonance. And along that same historical path, typically unexplored treasures—artifacts of ancient history and hidden artistic wonders—appear in their original luster, revealing new dimensions of one of the world’s most intriguing and multi-layered cities. A compelling guide to the Eternal City, the Lenten Season, and the itinerary of conversion that is Christian life throughout the year, Roman Pilgrimage reminds readers that the imitation of Christ through faith, hope, and love is the template of all true discipleship, as the exquisite beauty of the Roman station churches invites reflection on the deepest truths of Christianity.
