Document Summary
John wycliffe- an early reformer (14th century, way before luther) who translated the bible into english (common tongue was his official stance). He was one of the earliest opponents of papal authority influencing secular power. Jan huss- an early reformer (influenced by john wycliffe but more than a century before luther) who was accused of being a heretic and burned at the stake. His views over ecclesiology were seen as heretical (the study of the theological understanding of the christian church. Specific areas of concern include the church"s role in salvation, its origin, its relationship to the historical christ, its discipline, its destiny, and its leadership. Ecclesiology is, therefore, the study of the church as a thing in itself. ) Hus was a key contributor to the protestant movement whose teachings had a strong influence on the states of europe, most immediately in the approval for the existence of a reformist bohemian church.
