| | John Wycliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wyclif's Bible, as it came to be known, was widely distributed throughout England. | | | Thomas Netter of Walden highly esteemed the old Carmelite monk John Kynyngham in that he "so bravely offered himself to the biting speech of the heretic and to words that stung as being without the religion of Christ". | | | His predecessor in a like case was John Owtred, a monk who formulated the statement that St Peter had united in his hands spiritual and temporal power – the opposite of what Wycliffe taught. |

| | Jan Hus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hus conceded his veneration of Wyclif, and said that he could only wish his soul might some time attain unto that place where Wyclif's was. | | | Thereupon the pope issued his bull of December 20, 1409, which empowered the archbishop to proceed against Wyclifism — all books of Wyclif were to be given up, his doctrines revoked, and free preaching discontinued. | | | No pope or bishop, according to Wyclif and Hus, had the right to take up the sword in the name of the Church; he should pray for his enemies and bless those that curse him. |

| | John Wyclif |
| | Wyclif conceives Sacred Scripture as a direct emanation from God himself, and therefore as a timeless, unchanging, and archetypal truth independent of the present world and of the concrete material text by means of which it is manifested. | | | In the Purgans errores circa universalia in communi (chap. | | | Wyclif's world is ultimately grounded on divine essence. |

| | The Sentence Against John Hus |
| | It declares that the said John Hus seduced the christian people, especially in the kingdom of Bohemia, in his public sermons and in his writings; and that he was not a true preacher of Christ's gospel to the same christian people, according to the exposition of the holy doctors, but rather was a seducer. | | | This holy synod of Constance, seeing that God's church has nothing more that it can do, relinquishes John Hus to the judgment of the secular authority and decrees that he is to be relinquished to the secular court. | | | This holy synod of Constance is compelled to act against these men as against spurious and illegitimate sons, and to cut away their errors from the Lord's field as if they were harmful briars, by means of vigilant care and the knife of ecclesiastical authority, lest they spread as a cancer to destroy others. |

| | John Wyclif - The Morning Star of the Reformation |
| | Wyclif’s power over the 14th century was that of a conscience captured by the Word of God. | | | This endeared him to the head of state, John of Gaunt, who coveted the vast treasures of the national church. | | | Wyclif also trained and sent out preachers, encouraging them to preach expository sermons from hand-copied Bible fragments. |

| | Schaff's account of Wyclif and the Lollards |
| | Wyclif was the first to give the Bible to his people in their own tongue. | | | Wyclif himself called it a doctrine of the moderns and of the recent Church (novella ecclesia). | | | In several places Wyclif confesses that he himself had at one time been led astray by logic and the desire to win fame, but was thankful to God that he had been converted to the full acceptance of the Scriptures as they are and to find in them all logic. |

| | English Dissenters: Lollards |
| | Wyclif's work for the Crown was not too favorable to the Church and its authority which won him little support with the Church administration, or amongst its local bishops. | | | Wyclif was quite vocal in his own scholarly criticism of the current abuses of the Church based on scriptural research. | | | His writings placed an emphasis on the inward aspects of religion, and the mystical source of grace which the Bible revealed to all of God's People. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Wyclif |
| | On the other hand, Wyclif resembled the Protestant Reformers in his insistence on the Bible as the rule of faith, in the importance attributed to preaching, and in his sacramental doctrine. | | | Wyclif must frequently have preached in London at this time, "barking against the Church", and he refers to himself as "peculiaris regis clericus". | | | Thus by 1380 Wyclif had set himself in open opposition to the property and government of the Church, he had attacked the pope in most unmeasured terms, he had begun to treat the Bible as the chief and almost the only test of orthodoxy, and to lay more and more stress on preaching. |

| | Theology WebSite: Church History Study Helps: John Wyclif |
| | His seminal treatise "On the Church" (1378) defined the true church in Augustinian terms as "the totality of the predestined", a timeless and purely spiritual, thus invisible, body of which Christ alone is the head. | | | Wyclif conceded in his book "On the Power of the Pope" (1379) that the visible church may well have an earthly leader, if such a one truly emulates Peter in apostolic simplicity and poverty. | | | These may be justly taken away from them by the civil rulers, to whom God has given the lordship of temporal things, whereas to the church God has given the lordship only of spiritual things. |

| | John Wyclif: Morning Star of the Reformation |
| | Wyclif argued that all church institutions were to be judged by Scripture. | | | Wyclif came to believe strongly that Scripture alone was the “all-sufficient authority for right conclusions,” as he made evident in his 1378 work On the Truth of Holy Scripture. | | | Wyclif also saw the need for preachers who related God’s Word to the people in their own language, so he trained itinerant preachers and equipped them with partial translations of the Bible to accomplish this task. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lollards |
| | The name given to the followers of John Wyclif, an heretical body numerous in England in the latter part of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century. | | | In 1407 a synod at Oxford under Arundel's presidency passed a number of constitutions to regulate preaching, the translation and use of the Scriptures, and the theological education at schools and the university. | | | This article will deal with the general causes which led to the spread of Lollardy, with the doctrines for which the Lollards were individually and collectively condemned by the authorities of the Church, and with the history of the sect. |

| | Island of Freedom - John Wycliffe |
| | In 1376 Wycliffe enunciated the doctrine of "dominion as founded in grace," according to which all authority is conferred directly by the grace of God and is consequently forfeited when the wielder of that authority is guilty of mortal sin. | | | The conference failed, but Wycliffe won the patronage of John of Gaunt, fourth son of King Edward and leader of an antipapal faction in Parliament. | | | Ultimately Wycliffe's writings strongly influenced the Bohemian religious reformer John Huss (Jan Hus) in his revolt against the church. |

| | In 1374, King Edward III appointed him rector of Lutterworth, and later made him part of a deputation to meet at Brussels with a papal deputation to negotiate difference between King and Pope. | | | He maintained that these rights were given to men directly from God, and that they were not given or continued apart from sanctifying grace. | | | Wyclif is chiefly remembered and honored for his role in Bible translating. |

| | John Wycliff studied at Oxford and became the first person to begin a systematic translation of the Bible into English. | | | He accepted nothing but the Bible as authority for Christian dogma, stating: | | | Such doctrines appealed to anticlerical sentiments and brought Wycliffe into direct conflict with the church hierarchy, although he received protection from John of Gaunt. |

| | With papal support, the archbishop forbade preaching in the Bethlehem Chapel, ordered the burning of Wyclif’s books, and excommunicated (1410) Huss and his followers. | | | He early came under the influence of the writings of John Wyclif, and though he did not fully espouse Wyclif’s doctrine, he opposed its condemnation (1403) by the Univ. of Prague and translated Wyclif’s Triologus into Czech. | | | This situation was not helped when, in the same year, the Council of Pisa deposed both popes and chose Pietro Cardinal Philarghi as Alexander V, who was shortly succeeded by Baldassarre Cardinal Cossa as John XXIII. |

| | Their historical significance aside, though, Wyclif’s works represent an important philosophical and theological achievement in their own right. | | | The product of a collaborative effort led by Georgetown University but also involving [INSERT COSPONSORS’ NAMES HERE], the site currently features the text of Wyclif’s treatise De Blasphemia as well as images of the 1893 Wyclif Society edition. | | | We also hope to implement a search engine capable of performing detailed searches both within specific volumes and across the entire corpus. |
