JOHN ROGERS
Sealed with blood
By Tim Shenton. Day One. 144 pages. £7.00
ISBN 978-1-84625-084-2

This paperback recounts the life of John Rogers, who may not be as well known as other Protestant martyrs of the 16th century. Rogers was a scholar and, being acquainted with William Tyndale, began to examine the Scriptures for publication, through which he was led to conversion.

Then follows the thrilling story of the translation of the Scriptures into English and Rogers’ involvement. There is an honest account of the death of Joan Bocher; this incident was a dark blot against the Reformers, including Rogers.
