John Wycliffe is rightly remembered as the “Morning Star of the Reformation.” He was grounded in Scripture-saturated convictions that drove his vigorous defense of the gospel and his groundbreaking work as the first to translate the Bible into English.
In The Bible Convictions of John Wycliffe, the latest addition to the Long Line of Godly Men Profiles series, Dr. Steven Lawson tells how Wycliffe’s devotion to the gospel made him the forerunner of the Reformation who translated the Bible into English for the first time. We’re indebted to him for our English Bibles today, and his story can encourage us to establish our convictions on God’s Word. Order your copy of this new book today.
“Every Christian who values the Holy Scriptures and who prizes the gospel of the grace of God in Christ should know about John Wycliffe. Steven Lawson has made Wycliffe’s story—a story of courage, conviction, and gospel passion—accessible and engaging for Christians of all ages.” —Rev. Dr. Ian Hamilton, Associate Minister, Smithton Church, Inverness, Scotland
“This exciting new book by Dr. Steven Lawson powerfully shows how God the Holy Spirit was very much at work in the Middle Ages, and one great example is the remarkable ministry of John Wycliffe, who later generations very rightly called ‘the Morning Star of the Reformation.’” —Dr. Michael Haykin, Chair and Professor of Church History, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“We all owe a debt to Wycliffe. He was a forerunner of the Reformation and a forerunner of English Bible translation, leaving a testimony of faithfulness and boldness. We also owe a debt to Dr. Steven Lawson for once again writing such an inspiring and compelling biography. May this book serve to give us all a greater appreciation for and a deeper love for the Word of God and the God of the Word.” —Dr. Stephen Nichols, President, Reformation Bible College and Chief Academic Officer, Ligonier Ministries
