Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a historical account of the Oxford reformers during the 150 years struggle for an open Bible, begins by tracing the origins of Bible translations and commentaries, from the early Church in Britain, through the dark ages up to the time of John Wycliffe. The author describes the various teachings and arguments of the Oxford reformers, such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, and John Rogers, who rejected the idea of papal supremacy, Purgatory, indulgences, and the adoration of images. They also denounced the abuses of the clergy and advocated for the right of individuals to read and interpret the Bible for themselves in their own language. These reformers endured persecution and martyrdom but ultimately laid the foundation for the Protestant Reformation and the widespread availability of the Bible in English. The book explores the motivations, beliefs, and significance of these reformers, setting their struggle within the broader context of religious and intellectual ferment in medieval England.
