The Wycliffe English Bible

While the Wycliffe Bible is not the first English Bible, it is the first complete English Bible. It came to us through the efforts and influence of John Wycliffe (c. 1330-1384), a Catholic priest and a professor of theology at Oxford, England, called the “morning star of the Reformation” because of the religious principles that he developed through his investigation of Scripture and witnessed about, a great risk to himself.
