Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the lives of English Catholics such as John Colet, who lived in the years before the Protestant Reformation, yet sought to challenge the Catholic Church from within. The author traces the roots of their beliefs to earlier eras, such as the teachings of Savonarola in Florence, and the rise of Biblical studies at Oxford University. This text argues that, despite common misconception, these reformers did not break with the Catholic Church, but attempted instead to purify it. They promoted the teachings of the Bible, and demanded reform of ecclesiastical practices that they believed had strayed from true Christian principles. While some, like Colet, chose to quietly spread their ideas, others, like Lefevre in France, pursued more radical paths, challenging traditional Catholic doctrines and practices. This book provides new perspectives on the complexities of the pre-Reformation Church, and highlights the often-overlooked efforts of those who sought reform from within its ranks.
