In this episode, we explore Chapter 7 of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, which chronicles the remarkable life and enduring legacy of John Wickliffe, often called the "Morning Star of the Reformation." Wickliffe’s groundbreaking efforts to translate the Bible into English and his fearless criticism of church corruption made him a beacon of light in a spiritually dark era.
This chapter delves into Wickliffe's theological challenges to papal authority, his advocacy for Scripture as the sole foundation of faith, and the fierce opposition he faced from church leaders. Despite relentless persecution, including condemnation by councils and excommunication, Wickliffe’s unwavering commitment to God’s truth inspired future reformers like Martin Luther.
Join us as we uncover the trials, triumphs, and transformative impact of Wickliffe’s life, and reflect on how his bold faith continues to inspire Christians today.
