Wycliffe
Vanguard of Reformation
He’s been called “The Morning Star of the Reformation.” Before there was Luther, Calvin, or Knox, there was John Wycliffe. But how did this obscure son of a peasant help save his country’s independence without sword or bloodshed? What led him to pursue the radical–and illegal– idea of translating the Bible into English?
This book reveals Wycliffe’s battles with worldly Popes and a corrupt church, woven together with fascinating backstory that brings context to the ideas that were at stake. Wylie’s masterful history of Wycliffe pulls back the curtain on the man who laid the groundwork for the Protestant Reformation and whose legacy speaks to us today. As John Foxe wrote: “Though they [dug] up his body, burnt his bones, and drowned his ashes, yet the Word of God and the truth of his doctrine, with the fruit and success thereof, they could not burn; which yet to this day…doth remain.”
Wycliffe’s impassioned call to return to the Scriptures is a plea we must hear today if Christianity is to carry the light to future generations.

Light From Old Times (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00The 19th century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J.C. Ryle, it was an age of great ignorance too. ‘With all the stir made about education’, he wryly observed, ‘the ignorance of our own country’s history is something lamentable and appalling and depressing.’
What particularly distressed Ryle was the scant knowledge of the English Reformation evident amongst his contemporaries. In this lay a grace danger: one of the reasons so many congregations drift form their evangelical foundations is their sheer ignorance of Christian history, and their lack of understanding of the major doctrinal controversies and why they matter.
So Ryle taught that one of the best ways to stop Christians wavering ‘with every changing wind of doctrine’ (Eph. 4:14) is to instill in them a deep love for Reformation and Puritan teaching, and a willingness to suffer for those gospel truths. The Bible often calls us to remember the past, Ryle explained, but the devil tries to make us forget. If the church is to be strengthened, then Christians must be persuaded to read the saints of the past and to learn the lessons of church history.
