William Tyndale

"William Tyndale" tells the gripping true story of a man whose pen reshaped the English-speaking world. In an age when possessing a Bible in English could cost you your life, William Tyndale dared to defy kings, challenge popes, and bring the Word of God to the common people. This richly detailed and historically grounded narrative traces Tyndale's journey from humble beginnings in Gloucestershire to the intellectual crucible of Oxford and Cambridge, and finally to his perilous mission across Europe. It explores the dangerous work of translating the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into English, his bold polemics against clerical corruption, and the betrayal that led to his martyrdom. Drawing from primary sources and contemporary accounts, this book offers not only a portrait of Tyndale the reformer but also Tyndale the linguist, theologian, and spiritual shepherd. Readers will discover how his translations influenced the King James Bible, shaped the English language, and laid the foundation for religious liberty and literacy across the modern world. Accessible, compelling, and deeply inspiring, "William Tyndale" is both a biography and a tribute to the enduring power of Scripture—and to one man's unwavering conviction that every soul deserves to hear God's voice in their own tongue.
