Once there was a time when the common people didn’t have Bibles. Think of it! Almost no Bibles anywhere. They weren’t allowed to have them. Then came a man who determined to give the Bible to his people. — HISTORICAL DATING OF THIS CHAPTER: All the events about John Wycliffe (1328-1415) occurred between A.D. 1328 and 1415. He became pastor of Lutterworth in 1374; and, in 1377, papal bulls were hurled against him. Two rival popes were elected in 1378— and the Great Schism began. Their fighting lasted until 1415. Between 1382 and 1384, Wycliffe translated the Bible into English. The events concerning John Huss and Jerome happened between 1396 and 1428. He was appointed rector of the university church and the Bethlehem chapel in 1402. His denunciations of corruption began in 1405, and Prague was placed under interdict in 1412. The Council of Constance (1414-1418) burned Huss in 1415, and Jerome in 1416. The Hussite Wars lasted until 1434.
