God's Peculiar People: Learning How to Live from Heros of the Faith

John Wycliffe (also spelled Wyclif, Wickliffe, and other variants; c. 1328 – 31 December 1384) was an English scholastic philosopher, theologian, biblical translator, reformer, Catholic priest, and a seminary professor at the University of Oxford. He became an influential dissident within the Catholic priesthood during the 14th century and is considered an important predecessor to Protestantism. Wycliffe questioned the privileged status of the clergy, who had bolstered their powerful role in England, and advocated radical poverty of the clergy. Wycliffe has been characterized as the "evening star" of scholasticism and as the morning star of the English Reformation. Wycliffe advocated the translation of the Bible into the common vernacular. According to tradition, Wycliffe is said to have completed a translation direct from the Vulgate into Middle English – a version now known as Wycliffe's Bible. He may have personally translated the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, but it is possible he initially translated the entire New Testament Early Version. It is assumed that his associates translated the Old Testament and revised the Late Version. Wycliffe's Bible appears to have been completed prior to 1384 with additional updated versions being done by Wycliffe's assistant John Purvey, and others, in 1388 and 1395. More recently, historians of the Wycliffite movement have suggested that Wycliffe had at most a minor role in the actual translation or contributed ad hoc passages taken from his English theological writings, with some, building on the earlier theories of Francis Aidan Gasquet, going as far as to suggest he had no role in the translations other than the translation projects perhaps being inspired, at least partially, by Wycliffe's biblicism at Oxford, but otherwise being orthodox Catholic translations later co-opted by his followers.

This week we begin a series focused on the men and events that had a hand in translating the Bible into English. Note from "The Bible and Its History: the Manuscript Literature, Translation, and Early Printing of the Sacred Volume" "Here is a book, written by upwards of thirty different individuals, occupying different positions in society, living in different ages of the world (some of them nearly 1600 years apart), natives of different countries, speaking and writing different languages, and yet-all proposing the same object, all contributing to the same truths, all revealing the same Saviour! What can possibly be more rational than the conclusion, that herein is, indeed, the work of the omniscient and ever-blessed God?"

After being arrested in Jerusalem, Paul was taken to Caesarea where he remained for two years awaiting trial. He was then sent to Rome as a prisoner, traveling by sea with other prisoners and a Roman guard. The journey was perilous and difficult, with the ship encountering a severe storm and eventually running aground on the island of Malta. Despite these challenges, Paul continued to share the gospel with those around him, even converting some of his fellow prisoners and guards. Once in Rome, Paul was placed under house arrest for two more years, but he continued to preach and write letters to the churches he had established. Despite his chains, Paul's faith and dedication to spreading the gospel remained strong.

Paul's third missionary journey took place between 54-58 AD and lasted for about three years. He traveled through several regions including Galatia, Phrygia, Macedonia, and Greece, visiting the churches he had previously established and strengthening them. Paul also spent time in Ephesus where he taught for 2 years. During this journey, Paul wrote epistles to the Corinthians, Galatians, and to the Romans and visited Jerusalem where he was arrested and taken to Rome to stand trial before Caesar. Despite facing several challenges, Paul continued to spread the gospel and build up the church.
