Wycliffe And Movements For Reform

Wycliffe and Movements for Reform is a historical book written by Reginald Lane Poole. The book explores the life and works of John Wycliffe, a 14th-century English theologian, philosopher, and reformer who is often credited with laying the groundwork for the Protestant Reformation. The book delves into Wycliffe's early life, his education, and his involvement in the church. It also discusses his beliefs and teachings, including his rejection of the doctrine of transubstantiation and his advocacy for the translation of the Bible into the vernacular. In addition to examining Wycliffe's life and works, the book also explores the wider movements for reform that were taking place in England and Europe during the 14th and 15th centuries. It discusses the Lollards, a group of Wycliffe's followers who continued to spread his teachings after his death, as well as other reformers such as Jan Hus and Martin Luther. Overall, Wycliffe and Movements for Reform provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most important figures in the history of Christianity and his impact on the wider movements for reform that would shape the course of Western history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
