On February 11th, 1526, 500 years ago, an extraordinary event happened in London. William Tyndale lived during the reformation when people were rediscovering that a person can be saved by the most famous event in history: the life, crucifiction and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The only Bibles available at that time were in Latin. In Europe he was able to translate an accurate version of the New Testament into English. Thousands of copies were printed and smuggled across the Channel into England. The Bibles were captured and taken to St Paul's Cathedral where they were burned. The seed was planted and demand grew and 100,000 copies made it into people's hands.
I am so grateful to have access to scripture any time of any day. I own multiple books of scripture and can access digital versions of scripture at any time. Aren't we blessed?
