Travel with William Tyndale

Synopsis:

Melvyn Bragg in The Adventure of English claims that William Tyndale wrote ‘the most influential book there has ever been in the history of language, English or any other.’ That is not too extravagant to describe the significance of Tyndale’s translation into English of the whole of the New Testament and much of the Old from the original Greek and Hebrew. Tyndale is undoubtedly one of the greatest Englishmen ever, and all who speak this language owe him a great debt.

Commendations:

This is a guide not only to Tyndale’s places in England and on the continent, but also to his time, his ideas and his spirit. It is based on meticulous research and profound scholarly insight, whilst remaining very readable and entertaining. Guido Latré, University of Louvain
