William Tyndale

William Tyndale (c. 1494-1536) était un linguiste de talent, un érudit et un prêtre anglais qui fut le premier à traduire la Bible en anglais. Tyndale s'opposait au contrôle exercé par l'Église catholique sur les Écritures en latin et à l'interdiction d'une traduction en anglais. Son travail servit de base à toutes les autres traductions anglaises de la Bible jusqu'à l'époque moderne.

William Tyndale

William Tyndale (l.c. 1494-1536) was a talented English linguist, scholar and priest who was the first to translate the Bible into English. Tyndale objected to the Catholic Church’s control of scripture in Latin and the prohibition against an English translation. His work formed the basis of all other English translations of the Bible up through the modern era.

October 6th 1536, commemoration date of the death by strangulation while being tied to a stake, of English scholar, translator, and Protestant reformer William Tyndale. Executed for heresy, despite the intercession of Thomas Cromwell, chief minister to Henry VIII; Tyndale ten years previously had published, utilizing the new technology of the printing press, the first English Bible of the Reformation. The translation was both a challenge to the Catholic church, and to English law. It is ironic therefore, that Tyndale’s translation was to serve only four years later, as the basis of Henry VIII’s official Great Bible, with the final break with Rome, and the foundation of the Church of England. Tyndale’s final words "at the stake with a fervent zeal, and a loud voice", were said to have been "Lord! Open the King of England's eyes." On the same day in 1542, English poet and ambassador Thomas Wyatt also died, six years after his arrest and imprisonment in the Tower of London, accused of committing adultery with Anne Boleyn. During his imprisonment in the Tower in 1536, it is speculated that he witnessed the execution of Anne Boleyn, from his cell window as well as the execution of George Boleyn, Anne’s brother accused of incest and Henry Norris, Sir Francis Weston, Mark Smeaton, and William Brereton, also accused of adultry. Wyatt was saved from execution by his friendship and his father’s friendship with his patron Thomas Cromwell, whose intercession this time was successful. It is speculated however that the downfall of Anne Boleyn was actually engineered by Cromwell. Wyatt’s son also named Thomas was executed by Mary I, also known as ‘Bloody Mary’, on the 11th April 1554, for the rebellion named after him, which attempted to depose Mary in favour of her half sister Elizabath, daughter of Anne Boleyn. #hollowcrown #reformation #williamtyndale #tudor #tudors #tudorhistory #execution #henryviii #anneboleyn #bloodymary #toweroflondon #london #londonhistory #16thcentury #history #historical #williamshakespeare #history #histology #interesting #historymemes #historylovers #historygeek #historicalfacts #macabre https://www.instagram.com/p/CGNLDK1AbLt/?igshid=13593p42lmhj6

Book of Martyrs: Work In Progress Reading Material

I have been reading this book Book of Martyrs by John Foxe. As suggested by the title, it’s still a work in progress since I’m still in Martin Luther’s side of the story but I’m getting thru it, struggling to read and take note of the most important things and learn a great deal of my faith’s history.

I wouldn’t have written this if not for the fact that I’ve been itching to talk about it. Reading the book was like time travelling. It’s the experience of going back to the period where Christianity first started, that era where Constantine embraced the Christian faith, to the time where it was deformed, where the doctrine that was once established by men of faith where misplaces, in which several Christians fought for the true doctrine, the true word of God, the essence of Christianity, to that moment where martyrs died for God’s word but succeeded in fighting the good fight of faith.

The book started with the life of John Wyclif, followed by the life of Lord Cobham (Sir John Oldcastle), to the fight fought by John Huss and William Tyndale until  the time of Martin Luther.

If there was one thing that broke my heart during the course of reading the book, its the death of the martyrs but what makes it wonderful are the proclamations and testimonies by these men with their faith. John Wyclif, being heavily protected by his acquaintances, had been able to escape and hide from the prowess of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. But for Lord Cobham, John Huss and Wiilliam Tyndale, they suffered the unjustifiable death of being burned at stake.

These martyrs of faith stand to what they know and believe; the truth about God’s word and the erroneous teachings of the papal clergy and the Pope himself. Several attempts of forcing them to recant their words was of to no avail since they knew that the truth should be declared to Christians and that the essence of God’s word should be defended in any way they could even if will cost their lives.

It was the manner of their execution; the process of putting them into such painful and repulsive punishments that makes it all together wrong and without a doubt, evil.  And knowing that the Roman catholic church was the head of all these things, the Pope having the greatest authority, are unacceptable acts from supposedly men of faith and more importantly, men of God.

It was their words, their identity, that makes me realize how often we take for granted our freedom to read God’s word, to proclaim our identity, to stand to our belief. “I am a Christian.”. It’s their words and I hope it should be ours too. I am a Christian means emulating Christ, knowing He alone is the head of the Church; recognizing that without Him, all things in this world are nothing, believing that being a Christian does not just go by the name or by outward behavior but the heart to serve Him, the Church, his people and the church militant that continues to strive against sin in this temporal bode where we dwell.
