Chronicle of the time John Wycliffe walked two hundred miles to attend Oxford in the summer of 1345, through his life as a religious leader.
John Wycliffe (1330-1384) was a herald of the Reformation to come. More than a century before other reformers began the
great movement that changed Western history, Wycliffe was boldly questioning the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. A prolific writer, Wycliffe issued the first English translation of the Bible-and today, his name is synonymous with Bible translation.
