Wycliffe's Old Testament

John Wycliffe's Old Testament translation:

completed in 1382, is the earliest English versions of the Bible, bringing scripture from Latin into the vernacular for the first time. Wycliffe’s work aimed to make the sacred texts accessible to the common person, allowing direct engagement with God’s Word. His Old Testament includes the traditional books, beginning with Genesis and extending through the Law, the Historical books, the Poetic and Wisdom literature, and the Prophets, covering Genesis to Malachi. This translation retains a reverent tone and linguistic style that preserves the solemnity and gravity of the scriptures, bridging medieval spirituality with a profound dedication to God’s truth.
