Pecham took an active part in the struggle with the secular masters (of arts) at the university of Paris. He defended the Franciscan positions of poverty, and argued against [[Robert Kilwardby]]’s denigration of the Franciscan way of life. He supported Stephen Tempier in 1277 condemning the Averroist positions of Thomas Aquinas. As archbishop, he was very involved with issues of pastoral care (witness his Lambeth Constitutions).

Wrote many scientific and theological works (. A.o. Perspectiva communis, Quodlibeta, Trinitatis officium, sermons, hymns, poems (o.a. Philomena), letters). Citations in the Apocalypse commentary of John Russel, which have been identified by Beryl Smalley, suggest Pecham also wrote an Apocalypse commentary (see Joannes Russel, Comment. in.Apoc. ms Oxford, Merton College 172ff. 107vb, 108ra, 108vb, 109rb). Nothing is known about the whereabouts of thiswork.  According to the Lanercost chronicle, Pecham introduced the practice of holding quodlibetal questions at the University of Oxford (''primus omnium disputavit in facultate theologiae de quolibet''). See on this innovation (and his later quodlibetal activities at the papal curia esp. Piron (2006).
