What was the impact of the Wycliffe Bible? In 1382, the English Bible translation that would later be known as the Wycliffe Bible was produced. It was still 60-years before the invention of the printing press, so it was written by grabb. It soon increased in its popularity among the followers of John Wycliffe. Wandering preachers, known as the Lollards, desired to have God’s Word into the mind and heart of ordinary people, which they did as they traveled on foot from village to village throughout England. In the course of their travels, they would often read from the Wycliffe Bible to the people they came across, even leaving handwritten copies behind. The efforts of the Lollards made a huge turning point, helping the people once more to be interested in the Word of God, as the Catholic Church had kept it locked up for a thousand years.
