William Tyndale's Dying Prayer
from Church History on SermonAudio Hosted by Rev. Peter McIntyre
William Tyndale's Dying Prayer: "Lord, Open the King of England's Eyes" As William Tyndale faced martyrdom in 1536, he uttered a remarkable prayer: "Lord, open the King of England's eyes." Five centuries later, we can trace the extraordinary influence of the English Bible upon the spiritual, social and constitutional history of Britain. In this illustrated Reformation Sunday lecture, Rev. Peter McIntyre takes us on a journey through nearly 500 years of history, from the Great Bible and the Protestant martyrs to the evangelical revivals, the abolition of slavery and the worldwide spread of the Scriptures. Above all, this is a reminder that true Protestantism is not defined by politics, culture or national identity, but by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the enduring authority of God's Word. "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." — Isaiah 40:8
