About This Book

Teksti kuvaa yliopistokoulutetun saarnaajan elämää ja opetuksia: hän nousee köyhyydestä maisteriksi ja julkiseksi opettajaksi, saarnaa kansankielellä, vaatii papiston moraalista parannusta ja kansankielen käyttöä jumalanpalveluksessa, tutkii ja paljastaa pyhäinjäännösten petollisuuden sekä kritisoi ihmeisiin tukeutuvaa uskonnollisuutta. Hän omaksuu osittain englantilaista uudistusajattelua, mikä synnyttää eripuraisuutta kirkollisten auktoriteettien kanssa ja johtaa syytöksiin harhaopista.
