In this work the principal focus is the English Reformation (the book Five English Reformers is an extract of this original volume) though J. C. Ryle looks at the formative influence of John Wycliffe prior to the Reformation and aspects of Church history following the Reformation too. The lives of John Wycliffe, John Rogers, John Hooper, Rowland Taylor, Hugh Latimer, John Bradford, Nicholas Ridley, Samuel Ward, Richard Baxter and William Gurnall are dealt with in Ryle’s usual style, seeking not only to trace events but to learn important lessons.
J. C. Ryle (1816-1900) is widely respected as the leader of the evangelical party in the Anglican church in the nineteenth century.
First published in 1870, this work has been completely re-typeset for issue as an eBook and includes the illustrations included in the original publication.
