Synopsis

The Waldenses, a Christian movement of the later Middle Ages, were also know as the Waldnesians or Vaudois. During the 12th century onwards, they were persecuted as heretics and endured near annihilation in the 17th century. They were outlawed, hunted, tortured, murdered, and hated by the ruling church of their day because they lived by the truth of God's Word and did not bow to their traditions and man-made laws. They kept the light of truth burning amid the darkness of the Middle Ages. This book describes succinctly the conflicts they waged and the martyrdoms they endured in defense of their faith and their liberty.

About this title

About the Author:

James Aitken Wylie (1808-1890) was a Scottish historian of religion and a Presbyterian minister. He was a prolific writer and is most famous for writing "The History of Protestantism". He lived as a Christian ought to live. Just after his death, it was said of him, "James Wylie was one of the best informed, most genial, and sympathetic of men, and his deep, unaffected humility was one of his greatest charms. It has been said that you could not be long with him without perceiving in him a lover of Christ and of all good men, and his unostentatious piety gave an unmistakable savour to all his life."
