Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dawn of the English Reformation: Its Friends and Foes This story of the Early English Reformation, biographically told, is partly in continuation of a plan formed now some years ago, and commenced by the biography of Martin Luther. The great Saxon reformer occupied among his German fellow-countrymen a position similar to that which was occupied by Zuingli and Calvin successively among the Swiss. These theologians, gifted with large mental capacity, and living amongst those who looked up to them for instruction and guidance, exerted and maintained an authority to which it is in vain to seek a parallel in the religious development of England at the period of the Reformation. The English Reformation was not marked by the striking ascendency of any one individual. Bilney, ´the first framer of Cambridge in the knowledge of Christ,´ as Foxe describes him, was the spiritual father of many who embraced a more Scriptural creed. He was the means of converting, besides others, Hugh Latimer; and he was probably a source, at least of valuable assistance, to Tyndale. But ´little Bilney´s´ warm heart was always much in advance of his somewhat clouded head. The most conspicuous figure in the ranks of the early English Reformers was Tyndale - the successful translator of Scripture, the author of the most useful religious tracts of the time, and the spiritual father of John Fryth.
