Pastor John Huffman portrays Tyndale in both monologue and period-appropriate attire. As Tyndale, he recounts his education, his discovery of Erasmus’s Greek New Testament, and the burning conviction he held that even the “plow boy,” or every common person, should know as much Scripture as the priests.
Arrested and eventually executed in 1536, Tyndale’s dying prayer—“Lord, open the King of England’s eyes”—was soon answered when Henry VIII authorized English Bibles in every church. Pastor Huffman emphasizes Tyndale’s enduring legacy, and he challenges listeners to treasure the Scriptures and use their gifts to spread God’s Word. |
