$5.00 10/$40.00 25/$75.00

Summary
By order of the Crown in 1537, the British laity received vernacular copies of the Scriptures—an historic event eventually facilitating the English Reformation. One year earlier, the man mostly responsible for translating those Scriptures was executed in accordance with an order from that same king. Open this issue of Christian History & Biography and delve into the famous and ironic life and death of a humble saint: William Tyndale.

Inside this issue you'll find:
