Book Synopsis John Wycliffe and Jan Hus by : Charles River
Download or read book John Wycliffe and Jan Hus written by Charles River and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading In the mid-14th century, the Vatican called upon England and sought financial aid in the hopes of boosting papal defenses against French forces. It was then that a man named John Wycliffe boldly stepped forth and appealed to the John of Gaunt, urging the Duke of Lancaster and Parliament to repudiate Rome's demands and citing what he believed to be the Church's abundance in wealth. According to Wycliffe, Christ's disciples, particularly clergymen, must aspire to live modestly and shun all material pleasures. Such was the word of the Lord. Despite the growing tensions between Wycliffe and the Catholic Church, he was invited to partake in a religious committee that aimed to find solutions for the apparent failings of the institution in 1374, but progress was slow, impeded by the corruption of the priests who readily accepted bribes and immoral incentives. Wycliffe, on the contrary, was equipped with a cast-iron will and refused to cave in to temptation. His strength of character earned him the approbation of the Duke and members of Parliament. The same could not be said about his fellow clergymen. Wycliffe's relentless criticism of the Church only continued to escalate, and eventually he was summoned to London and charged with the unforgivable crime of heresy. To the dismay of his detractors, the hearing was anything but black and white, and heated verbal exchanges soon spiraled into physical altercations. This resulted in a temporary deadlock that was broken only three months later when Pope Gregory XI published five papal bulls that unequivocally banned all of Wycliffe's teachings and found the heretic, dubbed the "master of errors," guilty of 18 counts of heresy. The end, it appeared, was nigh, but Wycliffe remained unfazed, declaring, "I profess and claim to be by the grace of God a sound...Christian and while there is breath in my body, I will speak forth and defend the law of it." Wycliffe told the archbishop at Lambeth Palace, "I am ready to defend my convictions even unto death...I have followed the Sacred Scripture and the holy doctors." While Wycliffe's critics rejoiced at the news of his demise, they soon discovered that his influence was far more difficult to extinguish than they initially anticipated. In 1427, a whole 43 years after Wycliffe's passing, his corpse was exhumed by local authorities and cremated, and the ashes were dumped into the River Swift, but Wycliffe's indelible ideas had taken on a life of their own The revival of Wycliffe's ideas, many believe, was ignited by receptive Bohemian students who were introduced to the reformer's works at Oxford University and became so moved by his thoughts that they felt it absolutely imperative to spread the good word in their own kingdoms. Questioning Christians quietly perused compilations of Wycliffe's books and were, at the very least, intrigued by the nonconformist's opinions. One curious mind, however, was supposedly so inspired by Wycliffe that he was at once galvanized into action. Instead of simply parroting Wycliffe's seditious ideas, he launched an entire movement and remained fervidly true to his cause, even when his own life was at stake. This fearless firebrand was none other than Jan Hus, the father of the Bohemian Reformation and one of the most infamous heretics in all of Europe. Hus started as a Czech priest, but he quickly became notorious for debating several Church doctrines such as the Eucharist, Church ecclesiology, and many more topics. Today, he is viewed as a predecessor of the Lutherans, but the Church viewed him as a threat, and the Catholics eventually engaged Hus' followers (known as Hussites) in several battles in the early 15th century. Hus himself was burned at the stake in 1415, but his followers fought on in a series of battles known as the Hussite Wars.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Wycliffe and His English Precursors When I compare the two groups of Sources which serve to elucidate the personality and the entire his torical position of Wiclif, I come in sight Of the fact that the English sermons and tracts most recently printed belong, almost without exception, to the four last years Of his life (1381 They serve, there fore, to throw upon his latest convictions and efforts however comparatively well known these were before - a still clearer and fuller documentary light. The Latin works, on the other hand, so far as they only exist in ms, were for the most part written at earlier dates, some of them indeed going back as far as the year 1370. These latter, therefore, have a specially high value, because we learn from them the thoughts and doings Of Wiclif during an earlier stadium of his life; and, what is most important of all, they open up to us 'a View of his gradual development - Of the progress of his mind in insight and enlightenment.

Download or read book John Huss: The Life, Teachings and Death of a Theologian Pivotal in the Bohemian Reformation (Jan Hus) written by David S. Schaff and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David S. Schaff's biography of the Czech priest Jan Hus - whose name is commonly anglicized as John Huss - is eye-opening and detailed, shedding light upon the philosophy and conflicts which led to Huss's execution. Born into an era of immense religious fervor, Huss quickly distinguished himself with a commitment to Christian studies. His youth was spent singing in churches, where he made a subsistence income from donations. His intellectual abilities proven, he was an early attendant of the University of Prague where he acquired degrees. He quickly translated writings of John Wyclif, who himself (illegally in church law) translated the Bible to Middle English. Perceiving immorality on the part of certain clerics, priests and bishops, Huss publicly condemned and ridiculed these moral failings. Events took a tumultuous turn when the Papal schism resulted in two claims for the Papacy, which threw the Catholic church into chaos. Huss's criticisms grew, and so did the number of enemies he had in the church.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: II.?CAMBRIDGE GOSPELLERS. With the Cambridge Gospellers, of whom it is necessary next to speak, lay the real centre and heart of the movement?at least so far as it was a spiritual movement. To many of the favourers of the New Learning, just as to Ficino and his Academy, Plato had supplied a bridge, over which they had crossed from the Pagan to the Christian shore. The poet- philosopher, who denounced poets, reigned at Florence in the Academy, and among a yet more limited section at Oxford; but his influence was very small at Cambridge. The Cambridge Gospellers sat immediately at the feet of the Master himself. Here was the secret of their power, their success, and its permanence. Tyndale, who was soon to be the leader of the Reforming party, was thoroughly at one with them. A brief sketch of the religious condition of Cambridge at a period a little later than the proceedings at Oxford just referred to, will serve to introduce characters Avho played a conspicuous part in our early Reformation, and to exemplify their earnest efforts to promote amendment of faith and life. Foremost among the Cambridge Gospellers must be placed Thomas Bilney, Fellow of Trinity Hall. Short of stature, eminently abstemious in his habits, ' little Bilney, ' was remarkable for the austerity of his zealous piety. He was constant at the confessional. Fasts and vigils wore down his strength; pardons and masses drained his purse. Yet he had no peace of conscience. Erasmus had now left Cambridge, and in 1516 published at Basle his Greek Testament, with its new and clear Latin version; a bold innovation, for the monks held every syllable of the Vulgate to be inspired. Bilney purchased a copy, not so much because it was Christ's Gospel, as because the charm of the Latinity attracted him. But he soon pas...

Book Synopsis Searching Our Hearts in Difficult Times by : John Owen
Download or read book Searching Our Hearts in Difficult Times written by John Owen and published by Puritan Paperbacks. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'O that we might advise one another as to what to do; to help one another to recover from our weaknesses!' Following Jesus is not easy. It involves self-denial, daily cross-bearing, and lifelong obedience. Salvation is promised to the one who 'endures to the end.' Christians need much encouragement, especially in 'difficult times'. This the Lord supplies through pastors who love him and care for his people. John Owen was such a pastor. One way he sought to help his fellow-believers was to hold occasional meetings for spiritual conference and fellowship at which various topics were addressed and discussed, with Owen providing a concluding summary of the proceedings. The short chapters in 'Searching Our Hearts in Difficult Times' contain a number of Owen's talks and sermons on a wide range of subjects which are as relevant to Christians today as they were to believers some three and a half centuries ago. Abridged and made easy to read.
