John Dod (1549-1645): A Puritan Divine who Lived to the Ripe Age of 96 This evocative black and white portrait captures the wise and pensive visage of John Dod, a prominent Puritan divine of the 16th and 17th centuries. Born in 1549, Dod dedicated his life to the study and dissemination of the Protestant faith, becoming a respected theologian, preacher, and author in the process. Dod's early years were marked by the tumultuous religious climate of England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Despite the persecution of nonconformists, Dod continued to preach and write, publishing works such as "The True Doctrine of the Sabbath" and "A Plaine and Familiar Exposition of the Ten Commandments." His unwavering commitment to the Puritan cause earned him both admirers and enemies, and he was forced to flee England several times to escape persecution. Despite these challenges, Dod remained steadfast in his beliefs and continued to write and preach, eventually settling in Amsterdam where he spent the latter part of his life. His influence extended beyond the borders of England, as his works were translated into several languages and disseminated throughout Europe. This portrait, likely taken near the end of Dod's long and productive life, captures the quiet intensity and deep faith that characterized his ministry. At the age of 96, Dod remained a beacon of hope and inspiration for the Puritan community, a testament to the power of the written word and the indomitable spirit of the human soul. John Dod's legacy continues to resonate with scholars and historians today, as his works provide valuable insights into the religious and political climate of early modern Europe. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of the written word and the resilience of those who dare to challenge the status quo.
