Decisive Events
Tyndale's Bible
For any one man to undertake to translate the Bible out of Hebrew and Greek into his mother tongue now seems an impossible ambition, but it was achieved by Martin Luther in Germany and by his English contemporary and admirer William Tyndale. Both produced literary masterpieces. Here the hostile circumstances in which Tyndale lived and died. an exile from his home land. are described in dramatic terms.
