SKU: 3984804
William Tyndale's story speaks to all generations. God's Outlaw is about international politics, church intrigue, cold-blooded betrayal, and false justice ending in a criminal's death. Yet, it's also about victorious faith and spiritual triumph over some of the most horrendous political and religious forces known in the 16th century.
William Tyndale was a simple, God-seeking man who somehow became one of the most wanted men in England and all of Europe. Pursued by King Henry VIII, Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas More, and the Pope's personal legate Cardinal Wolsey, as he darted across Europe to evade capture, always pushing to complete the task that consumed him.
His task was translating the Bible into English and publishing it for his fellow countrymen, Englishmen who lived in a country where the Bible, and even prayers in English, were banned by a harsh and rigid religious establishment. Today, he's renowned as the father of the English Bible, and is honored as one of the major leaders of the English Reformation. However, the tale of how he lived and died as God's outlaw is a compelling rest-of-the-story, and is especially a moving encouragement for people of faith today.
