Summary
The Spanish Brothers is an accurate historical record of the rise, progress and fall of the Protestant Church in Spain. In particular, it mentions the history of the two great Autos-de-fé (Acts of faith: march and execution of the “heretics”) in Seville. The only fictitious narrative enclosed is what corresponds to the personal history of the two brothers and their families. This masterful literary rendition portrays with excellence the biblical truth that God rewards His faithful servants up to a hundred times more, even in this life, for everything they do and suffer por amor a su Nombre — for the love of His Name.
Endorsements
“Deborah Alcock has long been known as the author of a series of admirable stories, the scenes of which are cast in stirring periods of religious history, and the religious tone of which is not only sane and true, but especially moving. The best of them is probably The Spanish Brothers, the scene of which is cast in Reformation Spain: it has been translated into most of the European languages and has had a wide influence for good.”
