WORKS OF WILLIAM TYNDALE
Banner of Truth. 1,325 pages in two volumes. £33.00
ISBN 978 1 84871 074 0

Move over Bill Bryson... I can’t pretend these volumes would normally be on my summer reading list. However, I felt encouraged by the comment I read on the back of the book by F.F. Bruce: ‘A reprint of this kind is no mere archaeological curiosity; one who was so intensely a man of the Bible as Tyndale speaks to more ages than his own, and in the following pages we shall find that he has much to say to us, if we pay heed to what we read.’

The contents are diverse: expositions, prologues, notes, tables on biblical books and topics (like the Lord’s Supper and prayer) and religio-political issues (like the rule of kings and popes).
