John Wycliffe · c. 1328–1384

Read elsewhere

What it is

An argument that scripture is wholly true and sufficient, that it belongs to every Christian, and that church tradition must be measured against it rather than the reverse.

Why it lasted

The most complete statement of biblical authority before the Reformation, and the theological ground of the English Bible that followed.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
