William Tyndale Books

The Parker Society was the London-based Anglican society that printed in fifty-four volumes the works of the leading English Reformers of the sixteenth century. It was formed in 1840 and disbanded in 1855 when its work was completed. Named after Matthew Parker -- the first Elizabethan Archbishop of Canterbury, who was known as a great collector of books -- the stimulus for the foundation of the society was provided by the Tractarian movement, led by John Henry Newman and Edward B. Pusey. Some members of this movement spoke disparagingly of the English Reformation, and so some members of the Church of England felt the need to make available in an attractive form the works of the leaders of that Reformation.

The Parker Society was established in 1840 to publish the works of key English Reformers from the sixteenth century, culminating in fifty-four volumes by 1855. Named after Matthew Parker, the first Elizabethan Archbishop of Canterbury, the society emerged in response to the Tractarian movement, which criticized the Reformation. Members aimed to counteract this sentiment by presenting the Reformers' writings in an appealing format, reinforcing the significance of the English Reformation within the Church of England.

This is the first work by Tyndale to bear his name. The tract itself begins with an expanded translation of a sermon by Luther on Luke 16. 1-13, better known as "the parable of the unjust steward," then spirals outward to consider other New Testament passages that might seem to contradict the central reformation doctrine of justification by faith.

William Tyndale, a prominent figure of the Reformation, delves into the concept of justification by faith, offering profound insights and interpretations. His scholarly work reflects the theological debates of the time and emphasizes the importance of faith in achieving salvation. Tyndale's writings not only contribute to religious discourse but also highlight his commitment to translating the Bible into English, making scripture accessible to the common people.

Argues that Christians cannot be saved simply by performing ceremonies or by hearing the Scriptures in Latin, which most could not understand, and that all should have access to the Bible in their own language. The author claims that there is just one social structure created by God to which all must be obedient, without the Pope's intervention. schovat popis
