"Champions of the Truth"
Series.
1. CHAMPIONS OF THE TRUTH. short Lives of Christian Leaders in Thought and Action by various Writers.
The Academy says:—"Here are pen portraits of eighteen Evangelical teachers, beginning with Wycliffe and ending with Spurgeon. It need hardly be said, perhaps, that their eighteen biographers treat them from about the same point of view. The adifrable thing is that, though that point of view is one with which a given reader may not be so fortunate as to find himself in sympathy, it is one which has the advantage of showing the subject of the biography at his best. A very pleasant volume, and the more to be valued for the sake of its fifteen portraits."
2. HUGH LATIMER.
The First Edition of this work was published by the Society in 1869, but so careful was the Author in his method and research that it still ranks as the standard life of the Great Reformer.
3. WILLIAM TINDALE.A Biography.
The high estimation in which Demaus's "William Tindale" is held by students of the history of the English Bible is a proof of the sterling value of the work. Demaus wrote out of a full knowledge, and his task was a labour of love. Hence it was but natural that the book should at once become the standard authority on the subject, which it is now admitted on all hands to be.
4. JOHN WYCLIFFE AND HIS ENGLISH PRECURSORS.
The Times says: "The importance of the biography cannot be over-estimated, especially as the author had the immense advantage of free and leisurely access to the valuable Wycliffe manuscripts of the Imperial Library of Vienna."
