Wycliffe was born in the village of Hipswell near Richmond in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, around the 1320s.

Wycliffe received his early education close to his home. It is unknown when he first came to Oxford, with which he was so closely connected until the end of his life, but he is known to have been at...

Harrison Thomson notes that Wycliff's theology was on a broad canvas than the continental reformation: of the major Protestant notes, he certainly advocated "the supremacy of scripture over tradition", however it is difficult to find justification by faith alone or the priesthood of all believersespoused in his works. Wycliffe had come...
Wycliffe was instrumental in the development of a translation of the Bible in English, thus making it accessible to English speakers with poor Latin, though whether he himself translated the Bible, in part or whole, or merely played a part in motivating its translation indirectly through his revival of Oxford biblical studies, is a matter of debate...
