Question

_________, heralded as the "Morning star of the Reformation" was the leading philosopher of the 14th century and an English priest. Fill the blank with appropriate option.

• A. John Huss
• B. John Wycliffe
• C. D. Erasmus
• D. Martin Luther

Answer 1

The correct option is B John Wycliffe

Planet Venus which is often visible before sunrise is called Morningstar. Likewise, John Wycliffe, who lived hundred years before Martin Luther was born, is heralded as the Morning Star of the Reformation. Wycliffe made sincere efforts to take the Bible to every hand at a time when translating Bible to a common language was forbidden by Roman Catholic Law. It was a precursor to the upcoming protests which eventually destabilized the entire set up of Roman Catholic Church.
