Description of Morning Star of the Reformation:
When young John of Wycliffe arrives at Oxford University, he finds it a fascinating and perilous place. With his friend, Sebastian Ayleton, John experiences the terrible plague called the "Pestilence" (the Black Death), and he becomes involved in clashes between university factions as well as riots among the townspeople. Whenever he can find time away from his studies, John's favorite place is the inn of the Kicking Pony. There he and his companions discuss the political and religious issues of the day, and it is with his friends that he first shares his growing vision of an English Bible for all Englishmen to read. In the darkness of medieval England, John's pursuit of truth gleams like a solitary star: the morning star that promises the sunrise to come. He paved the way for the theologians of the next century and opened hearts in preparation for the great Reformation itself.

Description of Andy Thomson, author of Morning Star of the Reformation:
The scene is Oxford University in medieval England, a place of high culture, intellectual activity---and danger, at least for reformer John Wycliffe, who challenges the formidable power of the Roman Catholic Church. In the midst of riots, plague, and persecution, Wycliffe risks his life to translate the Bible into English and paves the way for the Reformation. His courage will renew your appreciation for the gift of the English Bible. 134 pages, softcover from Bob Jones University Press.
