We want to introduce you to those who forgot everything except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We all struggle with fear of being last, lost, least, littlest, and dead, and so we are here to encourage, challenge, provoke, and maybe even offend you by introducing you to theologians who at one time or another were banned by their church, declared dangerous, or simply vilified for daring to confess that Christ alone is the way, truth, and life. Welcome rebel children, holy mischief makers, and fools for Christ. This podcast is for you.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383"},"episode":{"title":"427: Wulfstan - Sermon of the Wolf to the English","slug":"427-wulfstan-sermon-of-the-wolf-to-the-english","published_at":"2026-02-07T12:42:22+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383/427-wulfstan-sermon-of-the-wolf-to-the-english","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383","url":"https://www.1517.org/podcast-overview/427-wulfstan","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bannedbooks/BB_427.mp3?dest-id=697691","summary":"Hungry Like The Wolf. In this episode, we read a sermon from 11th-century bishop Wulfstan. The main themes in the Sermon of the Wolf to the English (also often referred to by its Latin title, Sermo Lupi ad Anglos) are corruption and sin. These themes are apparent as Wulfstan chastises the English people for their corruption and warns of God's anger and wrath, which is sure to come: \"Understand also well that the Devil has now led this nation astray for very many years.\" He sees that the devil has played a huge part in influencing the English to sin (\"Wulfstan\"). Wulfstan also strongly believes that the people need to repent, as God is extremely upset and disappointed by the people's actions on Earth.
