John Frith (1503 – 4 July 1533) was an English Protestant priest, writer, and martyr. Frith was an important contributor to the Christian debate on persecution and toleration in favour of the principle of religious toleration. He was 'perhaps the first to echo in England' of that 'more liberal tradition' of Zwingli, Melanchthon and Bucer. As his ministry progressed, Frith took greater risks with his stance against the Roman Catholic teachings of Purgatory and Transubstantiation. He was eventually brought before Thomas Cranmer and the Inquisition for his teachings and condemned to be burned at the stake for heresy.

  • John Frith (* 1503 in Westerham, Kent; † 4. Juli 1533 in London) war ein englischer Märtyrer der Reformation. Er war bis 1525 Student in Eton und in Cambridge am King’s College. Nach dem Abschluss des Studiums wurde er als Kanoniker an die Christ Church (Wolsey’s College) berufen, wo er auf evangelisch gesinnte Studenten traf. Unter ihnen war der spätere Priester und Gelehrte William Tyndale. 1527/28 wurde er mit zahlreichen Anderen unter dem Verdacht der Ketzerei festgesetzt. Einige seiner Mitgefangenen widerriefen, ihm gelang die Flucht in die Niederlande und später nach Marburg. 1530 veröffentlichte er die Patrick’s Places und verfasste zahlreiche eigene propagandistische Schriften für die Reformation. 1532 hielt er sich für kurze Zeit in England auf, kehrte aber bald wieder nach Flandern zurück. Nach seiner Heirat und erneuten Rückkehr nach England wurde er 1533 in /London als Ketzer verbrannt. (de)

He was eventually brought before Thomas Cranmer and the Inquisition for his teachings and condemned to be burned at the stake for heresy. In his revision of Foxe's Book of Martyrs, author Harold Chadwick writes the following about John Frith: "Master Frith was a young man noted for his godliness, intelligence, and knowledge. In the secular world, he could have risen to any height he wished, but he chose, instead, to serve the Church and work for the benefit of others and not himself." During his studies, he became acquainted with William Tyndale who deeply influenced Frith's beliefs. Like Tyndale and Luther, Frith played an influential role in the Protestant Reformation. (en)
