Bøker av William Tyndale

The First English Version of the Bible ever printed, this epoch-making work by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale is presented for the first time complete in one volume in Modern Spelling. The TC translation is the foundation and true source of the celebrated King James Version. But where the KJV freely modifies the text, so that God's Word might better conform to "ecclesiastical traditions", the TC presents the Scriptures as they were delivered: without modification, ammendment, or compromise. This deluxe printed edition of the "MSTC" is illuminated with over 150 engravings and extensive helps, including Biographical Notes and Essays, Holy Land Maps, and a Concise Concordance.

One of the key foundation books of the English Reformation, The Obedience of a Christian Man (1528) makes a radical challenge to the established order of the all-powerful Church of its time. Himself a priest, Tyndale boldly claims that there is just one social structure created by God to which all must be obedient, without the intervention of the rule of the Pope. He argues that Christians cannot be saved simply by performing ceremonies or by hearing the Scriptures in Latin, which most could not understand, and that all should have access to the Bible in their own language - an idea that was then both bold and dangerous. Powerful in thought and theological learning, this is a landmark in religious and political thinking.
