This year marks the 500th anniversary of the publication of William Tyndale’s English translation of the Bible. Branded as heretical, this translation was a pivotal moment in the Reformation which had a lasting impact on the church in England.
Diarmaid MacCulloch uncovers the importance of Tyndale’s translation, its place in the history of the English Reformation, and how these factors shaped the church in England.
Diarmaid MacCulloch is Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University and one of the UK’s leading historians. His books include the magisterial 'A History of Christianity' and the definitive biography of Thomas Cromwell, which won the Whitbread Biography Prize.
