William Tyndale and the English Bible

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 scholar to provide a Bible in English for everyone to read.
William Tyndale was the first to translate into English the New Testament and much of the Old Testament from the original Greek and Hebrew, so
that it could be printed as a complete book.

‘A wonderfully accessible telling of Tyndale’s story made vivid by well-chosen quotes and illustrations. This book, with details of his life corrected by recent scholarship, is for those familiar with the facts, and an exciting introduction for newcomers.’
Mary Clow
Chair of the Tyndale Society

‘Tyndale’s translation and printing of the Bible in English for the first time in fifteen hundred years is a thrilling event in history that has
significantly impacted the world ever since. In this book, the past
comes alive, creating an appetite to read the Bible for ourselves.’
Roger Carswell
Evangelist and Broadcaster
