God's Peculiar People: Learning How to Live from Heros of the Faith – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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.

Wycliffe’s theology

Book Referenced in the podcast Wycliffe in Tracts and Treatises of John de Wycliffe, with Selections and Translation from his Manuscripts, and Latin Works

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?"

This week, we take a quick look at the lives of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Roger Youdarian, Ed McCully, and Pete Fleming. Each of these men had a unique skill set they took with them to the mission field of Ecuador. These 5 men sought to reach the Auca/Waorini people with the Good News that Jesus Saves. The men lost their lives, but the Waorini people were reached with the Gospel.

The hymn So Send I You itself is a beautiful song that reminds the reader or hearer of the sacrifices Missionaries face, but the story of how it was written is also a beautiful tale.

David Brainerd is known for being a missionary to the Native Americans. Many people know this, but what fewer people may know is the impact Brainerd had on missionaries, preachers, and Christian workers over the years. This is due to the publishing of his journals following his death. We will talk about his life and impact in this episode!
