Thomas Brightman (1562-1607): A Devoted Puritan Churchman and Writer Believed to Have Written Under Divine Inspiration This evocative portrait captures the intense gaze and deeply lined features of Thomas Brightman, a prominent Puritan churchman and writer of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras. Born in 1562, Brightman's age is evident in his furrowed brow and weathered countenance, despite his stated age of 45. However, it is not just the passage of time that lends an air of wisdom and authority to his visage. Brightman was a man of deep conviction and unwavering faith, who believed that his writings were inspired by the divine. Brightman's literary output was vast and varied, encompassing works on theology, history, and politics. He was a prolific writer, producing numerous tracts and treatises that were widely read and disseminated among the Puritan community. Brightman's most famous work, "A Dissuasive from the Errours of the Time," was a scathing critique of the Church of England and its practices, which he saw as corrupt and antithetical to the true teachings of the Bible. Despite his outspoken criticisms of the established church, Brightman remained a committed and passionate advocate for the cause of religious reform. He was a respected figure within the Puritan community, and his writings helped to fuel the growing discontent with the Church of England that would eventually lead to the English Civil War. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the fierce intellectual and spiritual convictions that drove men like Thomas Brightman to challenge the status quo and fight for their beliefs, even in the face of persecution and adversity.
