Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Heretics of Yesterday To show that the revolt neither began nor ended with Luther - if indeed it can be said to be finished yet; to follow it in its gradual development in principle and trace it in its geographical and national expansion; at the same time to exhibit it concretely in the lives of its leaders, and so to bring the reader into a personal sympathy with them and awaken an interest in personal investigation; is the object which I have endeavored to accomplish. And yet, I should not be content, if I could feel that only this were attained. The great Protestants of the past have gained comparatively little for the world, if they have not established for all succeeding ages the indefectible right to question even their authority, and the perpetual privilege of intellectual readjustment. In other words, a traditional Protestantism has no more right to a claim of infallibility than a traditional ecclesiasticism. Every age that the world has seen so far has been prefatory; it is hardly probable that the present age is final. The five centuries from the birth of Tauler to the death of Wesley (1290-1791) are unified by a visible progress of religious thought and of spiritual life. There is no good reason for supposing that the lines along which that progress has developed have yet found their termini.
