Summary "William Tyndale" by James J. Ellis is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the life and contributions of William Tyndale, a significant figure in the Protestant Reformation known for translating the Bible into English, thereby promoting access to the scriptures among the common people. Tyndale's legacy is portrayed as one of devotion and sacrifice, underscoring the historical importance of his translation work, which ultimately cost him his life. The opening of the text presents a preface that highlights Tyndale's pivotal role in making the Bible accessible to English speakers. It emphasizes the dire religious climate of Tyndale's time, where knowledge of the scriptures was limited to a privileged few, and outlines Tyndale's determination to provide widespread access to God's word. The narrative also briefly mentions his early life, background in education, and the sociopolitical pressures he faced, setting the stage for an exploration of his translations, theological contributions, and the resulting consequences from both ecclesiastical authorities and society.
