The Story of William Tyndale

John Huffman

Description

John Huffman dramatizes the life of the English reformer who gave his life to translate the Bible into English. Tyndale recounts his education, his discovery of Erasmus’s Greek New Testament, and the burning conviction that even the plow boy should know as much Scripture than the priests. Arrested and eventually executed in 1536, his dying prayer—“Lord, open the King of England’s eyes”—was soon answered when Henry VIII authorized English Bibles in every church. Huffman emphasizes Tyndale’s enduring legacy and challenges listeners to treasure the Scriptures and use their gifts to spread God’s Word.
