You know about the great heroes of the Reformation.

You know the name of Luther and Calvin and Zwingley and others, but here's a name you

almost certainly don't know, at least a lot of you out there, Thomas Billney.

Thomas Billney is really the man who lit the spark of the English Reformation in the 16th century. He is such an

important figure, but for reasons that are not entirely clear to me, he's not well known. We're going to

here, but I pray that because of the historical truth that is presented, you will never again

think of the reformation and especially the English reformation without reference to this very

important reformer, Thomas Billney. Remember the name. Welcome to Grace and Truth. My name is Owen Strand. I will be your

We're talking about the Reformation.

What I want to do with you today is walk through at rapid-fire pace 12 truths about Thomas Bielney.

horses mouth in terms of the great historical source here, go to that book, The Reformation
