William Tyndale, The Translator of the English Bible
by William Dallmann is a concise and reverent account of one of the
most influential—and most persecuted—figures in English religious
history.
William Tyndale was the first to translate
the Scriptures into English directly from the Hebrew and Greek, laying
the foundations for nearly every English Bible that followed, including
the King James Version. His work shaped not only the language of
Scripture, but the English language itself. For this labour, Tyndale
lived as an exile, was hunted as a heretic, and ultimately suffered
martyrdom.
Dallmann presents Tyndale not merely as a
scholar and translator, but as a man of deep conviction, courage, and
faith. The book traces his education, his translation work, the
opposition he faced from ecclesiastical and political authorities, and
the enduring legacy of his sacrifice. Written in a clear and accessible
style, it reflects the devotional and historical interests of its time
while preserving a strong admiration for Tyndale’s moral and spiritual
character.
This edition is presented for historical
and educational purposes, preserving an important devotional biography
of a man whose words continue to echo in English-speaking Christianity.
