To: Salvation

I know you won’t believe me, but Tyndale’s work led to a veritable flood of Bibles circling the globe. Out from under the grip of Rome, God’s Word went out to the people and millions were saved. The two Bibles of early America, the Bibles that shaped this nation—the Geneva Bible and the Authorized/King James Bible—owed a great debt to his work. Scholars estimate that more than 75% of those Bibles were directly from Tyndale. William Tyndale was a towering figure whose impact on the world cannot be overstated. England’s rise as a world-power was a direct result of the Reformation in England and breaking away from the tyranny of Rome. Not only was Tyndale the father of the English Bible, but many consider him the father of Modern English, too. His martyr’s crown is well-deserved.

The invention of the printing press had NOTHING to do with it! It was all due to releasing the grip of Rome!
