Philosophy and Politics in the Thought of John Wyclif: 54 (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series, Series Number 54) - Hardcover
Synopsis
John Wyclif was the fourteenth-century English thinker responsible for the first English Bible, and for the Lollard movement which was persecuted widely for its attempts to reform the Church through empowerment of the laity. Wyclif had also been an Oxford philosopher, and was in the service of John of Gaunt, the powerful duke of Lancaster. In several of Wyclif's formal, Latin works he proposed that the king ought to take control of all Church property and power in the kingdom - a vision close to what Henry VIII was to realize 150 years later. This book argues that Wyclif's political programme was based on a coherent philosophical vision ultimately consistent with his other reformative ideas, identifying a consistency between his realist metaphysics and his political and ecclesiological theory.

Book Description
John Wyclif was the fourteenth-century English thinker responsible for the first English Bible, and for the Lollard movement. In contrast with most other commentaries, this book argues that Wyclif's political programme was based on a coherent philosophical vision ultimately consistent with his earlier reformative ideas.
