...an authoritative and much-needed exploration of the world of the
Lollards, considering their beliefs and motivations in great
detail.
*Anna French, Theology*
...interesting and provocative...Both for its originality...and on
account of the comprehensiveness and sophistication of the
treatment, the work is very welcome.
*Norman Tanner The Journal of Theological Studies Vol 62 Part 2 Oct
2011*
an engaging and, in many respects, excellent study... [T]he book
has much to recommend it to both students and more advanced
researchers. It is exceedingly well written. Hornbeck has a
wonderful gift for clarity of thought and expression, which is put
to excellent use here in explaining difficult theological issues,
and the book is blessedly free of jargon. It would serve as a fine
introduction to the subject for undergraduates.
*Maureen Jurkowski, The Medieval Review*
This book is a model of how to write a monograph; it is one of the
best books on medieval heresy to appear for some time... Professor
Hornbeck's book is extremely important in many ways. It is the best
book to date on lollardry... a treasure. It is an ideal combination
of precise scholarship, sophisticated understanding of issues,
open-minded investigation, and sharp awareness of how the subject
relates to wider issued in both theology and historiography
*Jeffrey Burton Russell, Church History*
This book is important for two reasons. First, because it proposes
a new methodological model for the study of lollardy and, second,
because it provides a comprehensive synthesis and survey of English
heterodox beliefs in a number of key doctrinal areas ... a valuable
contribution
*Rob Lutton, Journal of Ecclesiastical History*
This is a refreshing and challenging study, social, textual, and
cultural, which will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in the
roots of Reformation ideas.
*Dr G.R. Evans, Church Times*
[Hornbeck] has done a wonderful job of opening up the question of
variety of belief in late medieval England ... this is an admirably
humane book.
*Ian Forrest, English Historical Review*
