Abstrakt: This article discusses the book "John Wyclif: New Perspectives on an Old Controversy" by Sean A. Otto, which explores the life and works of John Wyclif, a prominent figure in medieval Oxford. The book examines the controversies surrounding Wyclif and his impact on history, particularly within Catholic and Protestant perspectives. It also discusses the shift towards demythologizing and decolonizing approaches to Wyclif in the postwar period. The article provides an overview of the book's content and its contribution to Wyclif scholarship. Another book on Wycliffite studies by Dr. Richard Otto is also mentioned, which covers important milestones in the field but has some omissions and neglects certain areas of Wyclif scholarship. Overall, the book provides a basic overview of Wycliffite studies but may not satisfy experts in the field. [Extracted from the article]
