The Works of William Tyndale* – A Review by John Brentnall
How we welcome this complete Works1 of one whose name should be held in grateful remembrance for his selfless, God-honouring life, martyrdom and translation of Holy Scripture. Here are doctrinal treatises (against popery, prelacy and the persecutor Thomas More) and on behalf of true biblical godliness, introductions to and expositions of the Word of God that have stood the test of centuries, and a biography of this intrepid but tender-hearted man of God that rekindles our love for his memory and heroic work. When we reach a point where we have to narrow down our reading to essentials, Tyndale lays claim to our time in a way that few others do. May God use this fine reprint to revive his work and reform our poor nation to his glory. Read these precious volumes prayerfully alongside Brian Moynahan’s biography and Sir Marcus Loane’s summary of Tyndale’s life in Masters of the English Reformation2 and you are sure to be blessed.

Reading the Psalms: A New Resource 12 October 2026
As Christians we believe that all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16), but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t particular books and sections of Scripture that we love even more than […]
