Talk by the Rev. H. L. Short
Lecturer in Christian History at Manchester College. Oxford
Jacobus Acontius was a religious exile who came to Elizabethan London as an engineer. He was a pioneer in scientific method and in religious toleration: to him both of these interests sprang from the same principles. Mr. Short speaks about Acontius and about one of his better-known books, The Stratagems of Satan.
