William Tyndale Flashcards
He wrote “The Parable of the Wicked Mammon.” Main subject
Salvation by faith
It was well known that Tyndale and More would write these things to each other
His purpose for writing it, wasn’t to humiliate his opponent, it wasn’t to vindicate himself, the purpose was to instruct and persuade the reader.
Tyndale says,
“The righteous man is one who hears and believes the Word of God.”
In his answer to Sir Thomas More, he declares that
the true interpreter of scripture is the Holy Spirit
Tyndale’s style is informal as a result of his evangelizing.
He uses plain energetic language to reach the common man and his influence determined that the style of the English Bible would be popular rather than Erudite & Liturgical (of the church doctrine)
Tyndale published
the first English New Testament from the original Greek.
