This dissertation explores the nature of this public, both materially and as a discursive concept, and the various ways in which Tyndale provoked and justified public discussion of the central religious issues of the period through the production of vernacular Bibles and his polemical works. Tyndale’s writings raised important issues of authority and legitimacy and challenged many of the traditional notions of hierarchy at the heart of early modern English society. This study analyzes how this challenge manifested itself in Tyndale’s ecclesiology and in his political reflections and in the complex relationship between these two elements of his thought. 2010-05-01 text application/pdf http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_graddiss/733 Doctoral Dissertations Trace: Tennessee Research and Creative Exchange Tyndale Public Vernacular Bible Print Intellectual History
