We decided to republish this volume, "John Wiclif, His Live, Times, and Teaching" which was written in 188 because:

(1) it was so thoroughly researched and

(2) so many modern controversies reported in a previous work, "Wycliffe Controversies," by Dr. H. D. Williams in 2008 were covered and resolved concerning Dr. John de Wiclif in this volume by Dr. Pennington. This work of 1884 was previously unknown to the author of "Wycliffe Controversies." It has many insights into the clashes about Wycliffe. (There are many different spellings of his name).

For example, Dr. Pennington, clearly identifies the text that Wiclif used to translate the first English translation. Was it the Old Latin texts or the Latin Vulgate?
