Un Protestante En La Espana de Franco

Perseguidos, marginados, encarcelados y reprimidos, los protestantes de Espana supieron vivir su fe en un Dios misericordioso y fiel en medio de la adversidad y de un pais al que amaban pero que no les correspondia. La historia del sufrimiento y la persecucion de los protestantes durante los anos del franquismo muchas veces han quedado relegadas a un segundo plano, a veces por sus propios protagonistas, satisfechos de la sociedad democratica que empezo a gestarse. Sin embargo, es el deber de un pueblo guardar memoria de su historia, y por esa razon Monroy nos cuenta en Un protestante en la Espana de Franco su propia vida como testigo excepcional de aquella epoca: una historia de Espana diferente, real y cruda, que no sale en los libros. Monroy no dejo de luchar por defender su fe y la de sus hermanos en uno de los escenarios mas hostiles que se podian encontrar.

Persecuted, marginalized, incarcerated, and repressed, the Protestants of Spain knew how to live their faith in a merciful and faithful God in the midst of adversity and a country they loved but that did not belong to them. The history of suffering and persecution of Protestants during the years of the Franco regime often has been relegated to the background, sometimes by its own protagonists, satisfied with the democratic society that began to take shape. However, it is the duty of a people to remember its history, and for that reason Monroy tells us in Un protestante en la Espana de Franco (A Protestant in Franco's Spain) his own life as an exceptional witness of that time: a different, real, and raw history of Spain that does not appear in the textbooks. Monroy did not stop fighting to defend his faith and that of his brothers in one of the most hostile scenarios that could be imagined.
