Wickliffe And His Times (1841)

Wickliffe And His Times is a historical book written by Enoch Pond and first published in 1841. The book is a detailed account of the life and times of John Wickliffe, a 14th-century English theologian and reformer who is known for his role in the translation of the Bible into English. The author provides a comprehensive examination of the political, social, and religious climate of England during Wickliffe's lifetime, including the struggles between the papacy and the English monarchy, the rise of the Lollards, and the impact of Wickliffe's teachings on the Church.
