The Preaching of St. John Fisher (article online)

Those of you interested in St. John Fisher, the Catholic Bishop and martyr of the English Reformation, know that several books of his sermons and other works have been reprinted or are still in print. For example, Cecilia A Hatt has edited a wonderful anthology of the English Works of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester (1469-1535): Sermons and Other Writings, 1520-1535 (Oxford University Press, 2002), and Ignatius Press still offers his Exposition of the Seven Penitential Psalms (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1998). There are also some very decent secondary studies of Fisher's works, like Richard Rex, The Theology of John Fisher (Cambridge University Press, 2003), as well as the reliable work of Edward L Surtz, The Works and Days of John Fisher: An Introduction to the Position of St. John Fisher (1469-1535), Bishop of Rochester, in the English Renaissance and the Reformation (Harvard University Press, 1967).

For any of you interested specifically in the sermons and preaching of this martyr and saint, however, there is a very good article now available online on my other blog by the late Michael Davies, "The Preaching of St. John Fisher" (Scripture and Catholic Tradition, March 3, 2007), reprinted by permission of the editors of Latin Mass magazine. Enjoy.
