WILLIAM TYNDALE
England’s greatest Bible translator
By Brian H. Edwards. DayOne. 128 pages. £10.00
ISBN 978-1-84625-160-3

Eight short chapters, yet full of interesting information regarding William Tyndale, his time, friends, colleagues and places: Gloucestershire, Oxford, London, Cambridge and Belgium. There are maps and notes on places to visit. It is a thoroughly useful history and travel guide through the beginning of the 16th century that Tyndale inhabited.

The guide stays in his world; it shows his life and his struggles to bring to fulfilment his life’s work, to obtain funding and help for something which is for the good of all of us — God’s word in our own language. Finally, he was martyred for his work.
