The Ghostwriter of the Bible: William Tyndale's Forbidden Legacy

from King's Church · host John Samson

In 1526, they burned Bibles in English outside St. Paul's Cathedral and hunted the men who dared to read them, yet William Tyndale kept translating in the shadows, sustained only by faith, until his execution in 1536. His last words were a prayer, and his legacy became the foundation of the English Bible we hold in our hands today, with over 80% of the King James Version being Tyndale's own words. Now the question remains: will we honor what cost him everything, or will we let the Bible sit unopened while the world disciples our hearts?
