Synopsis

It was an outlawed book, a text so dangerous “it could only be countered by the most vicious burnings, of books and men and women.” But what book could incite such violence and bloodshed? The year is 1526. It is the age of Henry VIII and his tragic Anne Boleyn, of Martin Luther and Thomas More. The times are treacherous. The Catholic Church controls almost every aspect of English life, including access to the very Word of God. And the church will do anything to keep it that way.Enter William Tyndale, the gifted, courageous “heretic” who dared translate the Word of God into English. He worked in secret, in exile, in peril, always on the move. Neither England nor the English language would ever be the same again.With thoughtful clarity and a reverence that comes through in every word, David Teems shares a story of intrigue and atrocity, betrayal and perseverance. This is how the Reformation officially reached English shores—and what it cost the men who brought it there.Praise for David Teems’ previous work Majestie“Teems . . . pulls together the story of this enigmatic king [ James] with humor and pathos . . . [A] delightful read in every way.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Yes, I knew he was a man of God, but who really was he, what was his life like is what I really wanted......more

What an amazing story. Imagine a world with no English Bibles. Imagine a man risking everything and staying on the run for years in order to translate the Bible into English. Imagine being convicted of heresy for translating the Bible into English and then being strangled before being burned at the......more

English’s Forgotten Father This book was a fantastic look into the literary creativity and immovable conviction of William Tyndale. His heart is evident as much as his ability. I was moved by this conviction and inspired by the creativity.......more

An interesting bio of a man we know little about. Teems fills in the gaps with incredible insight, joyful little literary rabbit trails, and an incredible appreciation for English, Reformation, and biblical text history. I enjoyed it more than I expected.......more
