The Tyndale New Testament: 1526 Edition (Hendrickson Publishers)
$32.95$49.95
William Tyndale believed the Bible should be available in the vernacular—the common people’s speech. He famously declared, “The boy that driveth the plough shall know more of the Scripture than [an educated man].”
Though forbidden by the church to translate the New Testament into English, Tyndale’s determination resulted in its finally being printed in Germany in 1526. Smuggled into England, the Tyndale New Testament was a monumental success. The simple, direct language of many of its verses has resonated down the centuries.
William Tyndale’s legacy stems from his having translated the Scriptures in a way that made the most of the emerging English tongue. Bible collectors and anyone interested in the history of the English Bible will treasure this unique volume.

The Works of William Tyndale (2 volume set)
$52.95There is little doubt that Tyndale could have translated the whole of the Bible into English if he had given himself exclusively to that work. But alongside the work of translation he felt it was necessary to contend earnestly for the Reformed faith and so he threw himself into several of the key theological controversies of the times. For this ‘Apostle of England’ the Bible must not only be translated, its teachings also must be expounded and applied in a practical way. To such work of exposition and application Tyndale gave himself with a passion, and in so doing not only proved himself a master of true biblical interpretation, but has left to posterity works of lasting value.
“A reprint of this kind is no mere archaeological curiosity; one who was so intensely a man of the Bible as Tyndale was, speaks to more ages than his own, and in the following pages we shall find he has much to say to us, if we pay heed…” – F.F. Bruce

William Tyndale: The Smuggler’s Flame (Lori Rich)
$8.99William Tyndale lived a life of adventure and danger, dodging the king’s men, fleeing from vicious enemies, and often being forced to meet with smugglers in the dead of night. What brought this well-educated Englishman to be in such spots? Was he an outlaw or a thief? No, Tyndale was no such criminal – he was a man determined to get the Bible into people’s hands!
But in Tyndale’s times and country, the king and other rulers in power considered the Bible a threat to their position and wanted translation and Bible distribution put to a stop. Still, Tyndale’s work was the work of God and it was not to be stopped! Read of how Tyndale bravely stood for the Truth so that we may courageously learn to walk in his footsteps.
