Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early piece of good philosophical disquisition which the author termed 'the Repressor of Over Much Blaming of the Clergy'. Medieval and modern readers alike can appreciate its contribution to the understanding of the social structures and religious philosophies of the 15th century. It is representative of a time of great social change, when the teachings of John Wycliffe were coming under severe criticism from the Church. The Repressor is interesting as an incisive critique of religious hypocrisy and an advocate of the idea that the clergy and laity are equal in the eyes of Christ, with neither having grounds to criticize the other. As such, it is a significant example of scholarship countering the views of its time, providing insight into the beliefs and tensions found in major institutions of the late Middle Ages.
