Summary

"A boke made by John Fryth, prysoner in the Tower of London" by John Frith is a detailed explanation of religious beliefs, written in the 1500s. Fryth wrote this book from prison to argue against Thomas More's criticism about his views on the sacrament of Christ's body and blood. The story focuses on faith, beliefs, and interpreting the Bible, especially how to understand the Eucharist and whether Christ's words should be taken literally or spiritually. Fryth shares a conversation with another Christian that caused him to explain his religious ideas, stressing that understanding things spiritually matters more than literal interpretations, and that faith and the meaning of Christ's sacrifice are more important than the physical parts of the Eucharist. This sets up his argument against More's traditional views, as Fryth aims to fix misunderstandings about the sacrament.
