Pre-Reformation Powder Keg | Church History #81

About this sermon

Join Pastor Lance Ralston for the 81st episode of Church History, where we explore the conditions in the world during the lead-up to the Protestant Reformation. Explore the roots of the Reformation through the lives of key Pre-Reformers like Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and Jan Hus, and uncover how their challenges to the Roman Catholic Church shaped modern Christianity. Discover the impact of the Waldensians, the Brethren of the Common Life, the role of the printing press, and the deep political, economic, and religious tensions in Europe leading up to Martin Luther. Learn how movements for Bible translation, anti-papal sentiment, and reformist theology emerged centuries before the 16th century Reformation and how figures like Erasmus and Thomas à Kempis fit into the bigger picture.
