How One Man Changed English Forever — Then Got Executed

from Grey Matter · host Leighton Grey K.C.

⚔️ He was strangled, then burned at the stake. All for doing one thing: translating the Bible. 📖 83% of the King James Bible is actually his work. And yet, most people have never heard his name. 🧠 William Tyndale didn't just shape Christianity... He shaped the English language itself. Shakespeare? A poet. Tyndale? A revolutionary. 🐐 The true GOAT of English paid with his life. You quote him every single day... without knowing it.
