| Summary: | "In The Roots of William Tyndale's Theology Ralph S. Werrell draws on his close acquaintanceship with the writings of Tyndale to speculate about Tyndale's theological foundations. The common assumption that the Reformation started with Martin Luther has harmed research into the English Reformation and consideration of the theology of Tyndale in particular. The author shows that Tyndale was not influenced by the Continental Reformers to the substantial extent that academics have claimed, and that his theology was fully developed by the time he wrote the 'Preface' and marginal notes for his 1525 translation of the New Testament. In this volume the possible influences of many theologians on Tyndale's theology are considered, to reveal the primary importance of the thought of the Wycliffites and John Trevisa. The influence of the Church Fathers, of Luther, and of Erasmus and other humanists is examined in detail. The second half of the book outlines key areas of Tyndale's theology: the place of the sacraments, the doctrine of the Trinity, and church and state. The author emphasises the paramount importance of Tyndale's 'blood of Christ' doctrine and its effective role in creation, the Fall, and man's salvation."--Page 4 of cover. |
