Synopsis
Excerpt from John Wiclif: His Life, Times, and Teaching
Dominion, without which we cannot fully understand his position. Professor Montagu Burrows has insti tuted a comparison between this work and Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity. 1 After the death of Anne of Bohemia, the wife of Richard II., the works were carried by her attendants to that country for safety. They were also taken to Bohemia by others. Bohemian hands were employed at the beginning of the fifteenth century, when the spirit of Wiclif took a strong hold of the inhabitants of Bohemia, in multiplying copies of them. The Imperial Library at Vienna possesses about forty volumes, consisting chiefly of unprinted Latin works of Wiclif, of which, in some instances, not a copy is to be found in England. They were removed to Vienna on the dissolution of the monasteries in the last century by the Emperor Joseph II. But, without these, it is impossible to form a correct Opinion of him as a Reformer. The importance of the contents too, in the case of the Latin works, is far superior to that of the English Dr. Lechler writes thu8°' Scientifically considered, it is only the Latin works which are of value. Wiclif's philosophical and theological position can 'only be learned from them with certainty and thoroughness while his English writings are chiefly valuable, in part for the history of the English language and literature, and in part for our knowledge of the influence of Wiclif upon the English people.

John Wiclif: His Life, Times, and Teaching (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and influential teachings of John Wyclif, widely recognized as one of the most significant English men of his time. The author contends that despite his enormous contributions to society, he has been largely overlooked by countrymen. Before Wyclif, the Bible had not been translated into English, and it was largely inaccessible to the common people. Wyclif's English translation of the Bible and his writings on religious reform made him a forerunner of the Protestant Reformation. The book draws on previously unexplored Latin manuscripts to present a fresh examination of Wyclif's life and work. The author argues that his teachings on the importance of the Bible and his rejection of papal authority and clerical abuses laid the groundwork for religious reforms adopted by later generations. This book is well-researched and sheds new light on the profound influence Wyclif had on religious history and the subsequent Reformation.
