An illustrated Tyndale New Testament
Battle of the Bible tells the compelling story behind the world’s most famous book. The Biblical texts, translated into obscure Latin, were staunchly guarded, making common interpretation impossible and ensuring the authority of the Church. Through the stories of the brave reformers who paid the ultimate price to bring the … Bible to the people, Battle for the Bible reveals how a seed planted on English ground inspired a progressive way of thinking that crossed an ocean.
William Tyndale died a martyr, burned at the stake alive, with never having heard the Bible he translated into English, read in his native tongue on English soil.
