...engages in historical revisionism as he attempts to portray William Tyndale as a "martyr" for the Bible...

It is not 'historical revisionism' when it is has been accepted history for nearly 500 years. Now if the author (Paul Melanson) wants to attack this historical account (basing his argument on self-depreciating remarks William Tyndale made about himself seems a stretch), so be it -- but Paul Melanson would be the one engaging in historical revisionism (revising the historical account of the life of William Tyndale).

Not a shock. Historical revisionism has long been a favorite tactic of Rome.

God bless William Tyndale!

>>”..revising the historical account of the life of William Tyndale.”

I don’t think this is what the article does. It’s mostly about his work.
