John Wyclif - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Wyclif was born at (modern), Yorkshire, England, between 1320 and 1330 and died at Lutterworth (near Leicester) in 1384. Wyclif's doctrine of atoms connects itself, therefore, with the doctrine of the composition of time from real moments, but is distinguished by the denial of interspaces as assumed in other systems. Wyclif's fundamental principle of the preexistence in thought of all reality involves the most serious obstacle to freedom of the will; the philosopher could assist himself only by the formula that the free will of man was something predetermined of God. www.peekskill.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/John_Wyclif   (7144 words)

John Wycliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John de Balliol whose seat was in the neighborhood of Wycliffe's home – Barnard Castle – had founded Balliol College, Oxford to which Wycliffe belonged, first as scholar, then as master. The Reformer's entrance upon the stage of ecclesiastical politics is usually related to the question of feudal tribute to which England had been rendered liable by King John, which had remained unpaid for thirty-three years until Pope Urban V in 1365 demanded it with menaces. Wyclif's Bible, as it came to be known, was widely distributed throughout England. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Wyclif   (7282 words)

Jan Hus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Catholic Church did not condone such uprisings, and Hus was excommunicated in 1411, condemned by the Council of Constance, and burned at the stake.

John Wyclif Wyclif's last formulation of the theory of difference and his theory of universals and predication are linked together, and rest upon a sort of componential analysis where things substitute for lexemes and ontological properties for semantic features. Hence Wyclif's description of the logical structure of the relationship between universals and individuals demanded the introduction of a new kind of predication, unknown to Aristotle, to cover cases, admitted by the theory, of indirect inherence of an accidental form in a substantial universal and of one second intention in another.

John Wyclif - The Morning Star of the Reformation Wyclif’s power over the 14th century was that of a conscience captured by the Word of God. Wyclif is striking the spark, Jan Hus is kindling it into a coal, and Martin Luther is blowing it into a great flame. Wyclif was a godly man. The avarice and venality of the clergy provoked him. enrichmentjournal.ag.org /200302/200302_104_john_wyclif.cfm   (1686 words)

Schaff's account of Wyclif and the Lollards Wyclif declared the crusade an expedition for worldly mastery, and pronounced the indulgence "an abomination of desolation in the holy place." Spenser’s army reached the Continent, but the expedition was a failure. Wyclif’s chief service for his people, next to the legacy of his own personality, was his assertion of the supreme authority of the Bible for clergy and laymen alike, and his gift to them of the Bible in their own tongue. John Wyclif.—I. The publication of Wyclif’s works belongs almost wholly to the last twenty-five years, and began with the creation of the Wyclif Society, 1882, which was due to a summons from German scholars. www.bible-researcher.com /wyclif1.html   (15137 words)

English Dissenters: Lollards Wyclif's work for the Crown was not too favorable to the Church and its authority which won him little support with the Church administration, or amongst its local bishops. Wyclif was quite vocal in his own scholarly criticism of the current abuses of the Church based on scriptural research. ______, "The Condemnation of John Wyclif at the Council of Constance", in www.exlibris.org /nonconform/engdis/lollards.html   (3155 words)

The Sentence Against John Hus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) This holy synod of Constance is compelled to act against these men as against spurious and illegitimate sons, and to cut away their errors from the Lord's field as if they were harmful briars, by means of vigilant care and the knife of ecclesiastical authority, lest they spread as a cancer to destroy others. This holy synod therefore pronounces the said John Hus, on account of the aforesaid and many other matters, to have been a heretic and it judges him to be considered and condemned as a heretic, and it hereby condemns him. It declares that the said John Hus seduced the christian people, especially in the kingdom of Bohemia, in his public sermons and in his writings; and that he was not a true preacher of Christ's gospel to the same christian people, according to the exposition of the holy doctors, but rather was a seducer. www.everydaycounselor.com /archives/sh/condem.htm   (584 words)

Catholic Books Review: Ian Christopher LEVY, John Wyclif: Scriptural Logic, Real Presence, and the Parameters of ... This work on Wyclif traces the evolution of his thought on the Eucharist and, in particular, details his growing dissatisfaction with "transubstantiation" as a key term for designating what happens to bread and wine in the context of the liturgical action which is the Eucharistic celebration. Wyclif objected to the traditional usage because of his position that substances could not be annihilated and accidents could not exist apart from their proper subject. Wyclif emerges as a man committed to the Word and to the tradition but who chose to interpret the Scriptures in a way at variance with the larger ecclesial community. catholicbooksreview.org /2004/levy.htm   (797 words)

Theology WebSite: Church History Study Helps: John Wyclif   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) This teaching was certainly pleasing to the unscrupulous son of Edward III, John of gaunt, duke of Lancaster, and to his greedy crew of nobles who hoped to become richer through such a sinful forfeiture of land and wealth by the church. Wyclif conceded in his book "On the Power of the Pope" (1379) that the visible church may well have an earthly leader, if such a one truly emulates Peter in apostolic simplicity and poverty. Nevertheless, insofar as Wyclif and a great number of "orthodox" thinkers of the late Middle Ages were already confronting the same central issues that the Protestant reformers were to confront, they may be justly called "forerunners" of the Reformation. www.theologywebsite.com /history/wyclif.shtml   (776 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lollards The name given to the followers of John Wyclif, an heretical body numerous in England in the latter part of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century. There is no allusion in these conclusions to Wyclif's doctrine that "dominion is founded on grace," yet most of the early Lollards taught in some form or another that the validity of the sacraments was affected by the sinfulness of the minister. Wyclif gave some kind of philosophic basis to this point of view in his doctrine of "dominion," though he applied it more to the property and authority of the clergy than to their sacramental powers. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09333a.htm   (2960 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Wyclif It is impossible to understand Wyclif's popularity, the weakness of the ecclesiastical authorities, or even the character of his teaching, without taking into account the extraordinary condition of the country at the end of the fourteenth century. What is, however, characteristic of Wyclif is the argument, half-feudal and half-theological, with which he supports his attack on the clergy and the monks; yet though connected with his name it was in part borrowed from Richard Fitz-Ralph, an Oxford teacher and vice-chancellor, who had since become Archbishop of Armagh. On the other hand, Wyclif resembled the Protestant Reformers in his insistence on the Bible as the rule of faith, in the importance attributed to preaching, and in his sacramental doctrine. www.newadvent.org /cathen/15722a.htm   (2450 words)

John Wyclif: Morning Star of the Reformation John Wyclif was both a great champion of the Reformation and a dismal failure. Wyclif extended this idea of lordship and goodness to the secular realm, enlarging the government’s power even further as it was able to seize the property of unrighteous laymen as well. Wyclif argued that all church institutions were to be judged by Scripture. www.thirdmill.org /files/english/html/ch/CH.h.McLaughlin.Wyclif.html   (3548 words)

Wyclif, John. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) A Yorkshireman by birth, Wyclif studied and taught theology and philosophy at Oxford. The Wyclif Bible is a great landmark in the history of the Bible and of the English language. In England the Lollards (see Lollardry) formed the link between Wyclif and the Protestant Reformation; on the Continent he was a chief forerunner of the Reformation, through his influence on Jan Huss, the Bohemian reformer, and through Huss on Martin Luther and the Moravians. www.bartleby.com /65/wy/Wyclif-W.html   (401 words)

John Wyclif, Translator and Controversialist John Wyclif (also spelled Wycliffe, Wycliff, Wicliffe, or Wiclif) was born in Yorkshire around 1330, and was educated at Oxford, becoming a doctor of divinity in 1372. Wyclif's last political act was in 1378, when he argued that criminals who had taken sanctuary in churches might lawfully be dragged out of sanctuary. Wyclif is chiefly remembered and honored for his role in Bible translating. www.justus.anglican.org /resources/bio/27.html   (710 words)

The Latin Works of John Wyclif John Wyclif (1324 -1384) has been variously described as “the morning star of the Reformation”; and as a preacher of “lying insanities in the ears of many.” In his time, he was both England’s most eminent theologian and its first heresiarch. His commitment to the reform of the 14th-century church and to the enterprise of vernacular theology contributed to nearly a century of religious dissent in late medieval England and to England’s first popular heretical movement, known as the Lollards. This site intends to make Wyclif’s Latin corpus—now accessible only in the decaying late-19th-century editions of the defunct Wyclif Society—more widely available to a general scholarly audience. www.georgetown.edu /departments/medieval/wyclif   (168 words)

Island of Freedom - John Wycliffe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) English theologian and reformer John Wycliffe (or Wyclif) was a precursor of the Protestant Reformation. The conference failed, but Wycliffe won the patronage of John of Gaunt, fourth son of King Edward and leader of an antipapal faction in Parliament. In 1376 Wycliffe enunciated the doctrine of "dominion as founded in grace," according to which all authority is conferred directly by the grace of God and is consequently forfeited when the wielder of that authority is guilty of mortal sin. www.island-of-freedom.com /WYCLIFFE.HTM   (759 words)

wycliffe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) John Wycliff studied at Oxford and became the first person to begin a systematic translation of the Bible into English. Such doctrines appealed to anticlerical sentiments and brought Wycliffe into direct conflict with the church hierarchy, although he received protection from John of Gaunt. The beginning of the Great Schism in 1378 gave Wycliffe fresh opportunities to attack the papacy, and in a treatise of 1379 on the Eucharist he openly denied the doctrine of transubstantiation. www.d.umn.edu /~aroos/wycliffe.html   (411 words)

Huss, John. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 He early came under the influence of the writings of John Wyclif, and though he did not fully espouse Wyclif’s doctrine, he opposed its condemnation (1403) by the Univ. of Prague and translated Wyclif’s Triologus into Czech. With papal support, the archbishop forbade preaching in the Bethlehem Chapel, ordered the burning of Wyclif’s books, and excommunicated (1410) Huss and his followers. Wenceslaus stood by Huss and in 1411 brought about a truce, but the fight flared up again in 1412, when Huss openly denounced the bulls of the antipope John XXIII against King Lancelot of Naples and preached against indulgences. www.bartleby.com /65/hu/Huss-Joh.html   (569 words)

the Works of John Wyclif; About the Project and the Site As it expands to include the twenty-odd volumes produced by the Wyclif Society between 1883 and 1922, we hope that the site will eventually be able to utilize the XSL and XSLT protocols. We also hope to implement a search engine capable of performing detailed searches both within specific volumes and across the entire corpus. Our eventual goal is to produce images and make them available for the purposes of private scholarship and study. www.georgetown.edu /departments/medieval/wyclif/about.html   (191 words)
