The Last Age of the Church (1840)

By John Wycliffe and James Henthorn Todd

Book Overview

The Last Age of the Church is a book written by John Wycliffe in 1840. The book discusses the state of the Church during Wycliffe's time and the corruption he saw within it. He argues that the Church had strayed from its original teachings and that it was necessary to return to the Bible as the ultimate authority. Wycliffe also discusses the importance of preaching in the vernacular, rather than in Latin, so that the common people could understand the message. The book is a call to reform the Church and return it to its original purity. It has been seen as a precursor to the Protestant Reformation and has had a significant impact on the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
