Book Description

ISBN-10: 019826352X | ISBN-13: 978-0198263524 | Publication Date: June 23, 1994

This book is the first major and exclusive study of the Christian idea of salvation as seen through the eyes of five sixteenth-century English reformers--John Frith, John Hooper, Robert Barnes, John Bradford, and the famous Bible translator, William Tyndale. The author sets their views in context, both historically and intellectually, before engaging in a detailed and clear examination of all the relevant aspects of their thought, from election and justification to the relationship between sacraments and salvation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An intense and careful study."--Theological Studies

"...Trueman's clear and thoughtful presentation of the complex relationship of English reformers to Luther, Melanchthon, and the broader Continental Reformation traditions is a needed corrective."--The Journal of Religion
