The prayers and example of the martyrs also speak particularly to our own world; as most Englishmen in Elizabethan times accommodated themselves to the prevailing religious climate, so in our own day people accommodate themselves to the secular climate for much the same reasons, though not yet at risk of the same cost. Many of these saintly men and women have long been forgotten, but in this book Dudley Plunkett presents one outstanding layman, noble, saint and martyr, uncovering from the texts that St Philip studied, translated and wrote -- mainly during his ten-year long imprisonment in the Tower of London -- a deeper story than just a simple outline of his life. The book attests the saint's vibrant spirituality and persevering life of virtue, while appealing for a fuller appreciation of the Elizabethan martyrs and of the relevance of their lives and sufferings to spiritual renewal in our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537714979089,"sku":"GOR012901543","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008899023121,"sku":"NIN9780852449592","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52128800997649,"sku":"NLS9780852449592","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53122014839057,"sku":"GOR014754963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852449593.jpg?v=1750914904"},{"product_id":"strangers-and-nomads-book-dudley-plunkett-9780852449806","title":"Strangers and Nomads","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Strangers and Nomads Dudley Plunkett provides an invaluable resource for devotions to the martyrs of England and Wales, that we may seek their intercession for our own urgent spiritual needs today. The canonised martyrs are presented in date order, according to their feast-days, together with the Collect prayer from the Roman Missal and other sources. The inspirational witness of the martyrs is made all the more vivid by the inclusion of many contemporary testimonies to their bravery, and, wherever possible, of their final words at their martyrdom. The lives of forty-three Catholic martyrs are profiled against the back-ground of the Reformation in England and Wales. As the political and religious authorities became increasingly determined to stamp out all expression of the Catholic faith by persecution in the penal times, the country's religious past came to be viewed through the eyes of the Reformers. However, there remains another less well-recognised history, and Dudley Plunkett evokes this with his portrait of the survival of the Catholic faith through loyalty to Peter, reverence for the Blessed Sacrament and the Mass, and devotion to Mary, the Mother of God, all so heroically demonstrated by the martyrs who were hounded and tormented, and treated like strangers and nomads (Hebrews 11:13) in their own land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607510720785,"sku":"GOR012805648","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51102824530193,"sku":"NIN9780852449806","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52613832835345,"sku":"NLS9780852449806","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852449801.jpg?v=1751396118"},{"product_id":"saving-secular-society-book-dudley-plunkett-9780954033552","title":"Saving Secular Society","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631956631825,"sku":"GOR002337353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0954033558.jpg?v=1750916718"},{"product_id":"queen-of-prophets-book-dudley-plunkett-9780385421522","title":"Queen of Prophets","description":"The Communist bloc has collapsed.

The prevailing assumption was that education should be geared towards fitting people into the world of work. Dudley Plunkett broke new ground in this debate by seeking to reconcile secular and spiritual values in educational policy and practice.  Secular and Spiritual Values presents a critique of the influence of enterprise culture on education. It argues that the resurgence of interest in the spiritual today represents a return to an essential aspect of human nature, and maintains that the spiritual perspective can provide a context for the regeneration of values in education. It indicates a way forward which, while not denying pragmatism, rationalism or holistic values, calls for openness to a spiritual reality that is seen as primary. It also assesses the practical implications and priorities for action if education is to contribute to the exploration of the spiritual as well as the intellectual and emotional dimensions of human experience.   This book has grown out of the author’s twenty-five years’ experience in educational studies, and from his particular preoccupation with values in education. It should still be of interest to those concerned with the nature and purpose of education: teachers, parents, educational policy-makers and administrators and academics in the field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52403983188241,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52403983810833,"sku":"NLS9781138487673","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138487673.jpg?v=1758762926"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-dudley-plunkett.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
