Book Review: William Tyndale A Biography

By David Daniell
© 1994 by Yale University
Tyndale was an extraordinary man who died a martyr’s death. He was an English reformer whose goal was for the ploughboy to know more scripture than the learned men of the Catholic church. When he died at the stake, his final words were “Lord! Open the King of England’s eyes.” Much of the King James Bible was a direct result of his Greek and Hebrew translation work. Very detailed biography of over 400 pages, but worth the time invested.
