Synopsis

""An Apology for Lollard Doctrines, Attributed to Wycliffe"" is a book written by John Wycliffe, a prominent theologian and reformer of the 14th century. The book is a defense of the Lollard movement, a group of English reformers who followed Wycliffe's teachings and criticized the Catholic Church for corruption and excess. In the book, Wycliffe argues that the Lollards are not heretics, but rather faithful followers of Christ who seek to restore the Church to its original purity. He defends their beliefs, including the rejection of transubstantiation, the use of vernacular languages in worship, and the importance of personal interpretation of scripture. Wycliffe also criticizes the Church's hierarchy and argues that the Pope and other officials have strayed from the true teachings of Christ. He calls for a return to simplicity and humility in the Church, and advocates for the translation of the Bible into the common language so that all people can have access to it. Overall, ""An Apology for Lollard Doctrines"" is a significant work in the history of English religious reform, and provides insight into the beliefs and motivations of Wycliffe and his followers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
