New Article: William Tyndale, The Apostle of England

William Tyndale, The Apostle of England This is a new publication—a concise study of the life and great work of the English Bible translator William Tyndale, to whom we are indebted for a significant part of our Authorised (King James) Version Bible. Tyndale was a faithful and brave man who died for his desire for the Scriptures to be read and understood in the English language. He valiantly prayed with his last breath as he was about to be burnt at the stake: ‘Lord, open the King of England’s eyes!’, a prayer which was wonderfully answered within two years, when King Henry VIII ordered for Bibles to be made available in every parish church.

In this article, based on an address by Dr David Allen, you can learn more about Tyndale, his great work, and his influence on our Bible and the English language. 500 years have elapsed since the completion of his New Testament, and this article is part of our efforts to commemorate this momentous event.
