"John Wycliffe" is a dramatic biography of the life of the 14th century scholar and cleric who translated the Bible into English for the first time.
Wycliffe found himself in the middle of religious, political and social conflicts. An Oxford scholar, one of Europe's most renowned philosophers, he was a defender of English nationalism against the power of the pope and a champion of the poor against the injustices of the rich. John Wycliffe taught that God's forgiveness cannot be bought with indulgences. He preached that the only true authority is the Word of God, and the Word could only be understood by all if the people could read it in their native tongue. "John Wycliffe" captures the trials and heroic struggles of this significant man of faith - the "Morning Star" of the Reformation.

My husband and I greatly enjoy watching this film, time and again. What a great price Dr. Wycliffe paid for defending the faith. I especially enjoyed the scene where he exhorted the young mother who had lost her child and pointed her to the scriptures for her comfort and truth. It showed the compassion, mercy and love he had for the common people. We look forward to meeting him in glory! I recommend this video as a precursor to John Hus and Martin Luther, as Wycliffe was the Morning Star of the Reformation.
