William Tyndale and the English Bible

Description

Set in the turbulent years of Henry VIII and the English Reformation, this is a story of sacrifice, exile, secret agents, betrayal and martyrdom. Behind it all was the determined conviction of a great evangelical scholar to provide a Bible in English for everyone to read. William Tyndale was the first to translate the New Testament into English from the original Greek and much of the Old Testament from the Hebrew. It was the first English Bible to be printed as a complete book. Through Tyndale’s story the vital significance of the sixteenth century Reformation in England is introduced.
