John Wyclif

History & Biography

“Sean Otto’s description of John Wyclif’s reputation as it developed from his death to the present tells a fascinating story. As scholars have freed Christian history from confessional partisanship, Wyclif’s life and thought have ceased to be defined by sectarian ideals. Now they have become the subject of a broad range of historical studies, to which Otto’s study provides a useful and interesting historiographic guide.”
