William Tyndale Documentary

[Hartley]

I have just watched a documentary on the program "Compass". It spoke of the life of William Tyndale and his efforts to translate the Bible into English. I particularly noted the emphasis on the hatred of the Catholic church and the King of England. While it does not bear his name,much of the King James bible was directly copied from Tyndale's work.

Oh how I wish someone had a recording of a talk given by my old CO this past year. He used some charts  it chronicled the history of our revised edition back directly to the scrolls used in Jesus' day and back into the earliest writings of the prophets of old. It was ablsolutely fascinating.

 

I have limited notes as it progressed quickly as well as covered the distinction of versions VS translations.

 

If anyone heard this, has notes or (hold my breath) a recording I beg you to please share it with me if you can.

I don't even think I have the correct title of the talk  

 

CO. Bro. Macfarland, Las Vegas. Sorry, it was like 2 years ago---where does the time go? I'll have to look up what bit of notes I do have to share and see if that may ring a few more bells.

 

Thanks Al!

I have a documentary about William Tyndale that I recorded off of my TV, I wonder if it's the same one Andrew speaks of. It was excellent, I have showed it to several friends who have come over. To me, it is clear that Jehovah used this brave man! We know even throughout the so called "dark ages", there have always been some of our anointed brothers working tirelessly to promote the Kingdom's interest! 

 

The one I have is titled "God's outlaw William Tyndale"

My dad has this dvd.

I have seen it a couple of times. It is an excellent drama. Well worth watching.

By the way, he has born here in England, in a small village called North Nibley.

In the mid nineteenth century, at the village, a monument was erected to honour him. We recently visited it. I was impressed.

I've heard it said that something like 90% of the King James Bible reflects Tyndale's original wording.

The Governing Body showed their respect for him a couple of years ago by placing his picture next to Russell's on the Memorial invitation and subtlety implying (in my opinion) that they think he could very well have been one of the anointed.

In any event he was an exceptionally brave individual who did a lot to give us the Bible in English and was burned to death for doing so.

The documentary which was on the ABC in Australia recently is "The Most Dangerous Man In Tudor England". I think you can watch it on You Tube.

I recently read a very good book on Tyndale. "The man who gave God an English voice". Got it on Amazon.com

A very dedicated and courageous man. Definitely Worth reading.
