Summary

York Minster History explores the near millennium-long story of York Minster, revealing its pivotal role in shaping the identity of York and England. The book examines the Minster not just as an architectural marvel with Gothic design, but also as a crucial religious center and a cornerstone of civic identity. Intriguingly, the Minster has continuously adapted to reflect the evolving values of its community, serving as both a symbol of continuity and change through English history, including periods of religious reformation. The book shows how the Minster's history is intertwined with the city's governance and royal events.

 
The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, weaving together architectural, social, and religious history. Organized into three parts, the book first analyzes the Minster's architectural development, from construction techniques to restorations. It proceeds to explore its religious functions and influence on local practices, and concludes by showcasing the Minster’s civic roles and its relationship with the city's governance.

 
Drawing upon Minster archives, architectural surveys, and historical documents, the book offers a balanced account, acknowledging periods of decline alongside moments of glory, providing a comprehensive understanding of this iconic landmark.

    Richard Wurmbrand, born on March 24, 1909, was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith. Wurmbrand died on February 17, 2001. Recording obtained and published by Rick Sheridan.
