By John Wicliffe

Book Overview

""An Apology For Lollard Doctrines, Attributed To Wicliffe"" is a book written by John Wicliffe, a 14th-century English theologian and religious reformer. The book is an apology, or defense, of the teachings of the Lollards, a group of religious dissenters who followed Wicliffe's teachings and were persecuted by the Catholic Church.In the book, Wicliffe argues that the Lollards' beliefs are based on the Bible and are therefore true and worthy of acceptance. He defends their rejection of many Catholic practices, such as the veneration of saints and the use of indulgences, and argues that the Church has strayed from its original teachings.Wicliffe also defends the Lollards' use of the vernacular in religious writings and preaching, arguing that the Bible should be accessible to all people, not just the educated elite.Overall, ""An Apology For Lollard Doctrines"" is a significant work in the history of religious reform and the development of the English language. It provides insight into the beliefs of the Lollards and the challenges they faced in promoting their ideas in a hostile religious and political environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
