Joyce McPherson
The Sword of the Spirit: The Story of William Tyndale
language
(Greenleaf Press June 8, 2018)
William Tyndale is the most important translator of the Bible into English in history. Though not the first (that would be John Wyclif), Tyndale's translation has had the most lasting impact. The King James Bible is actually largely a revision of Tyndale's translation.
Joyce McPherson is an accomplished children's author (Dürer, Calvin, Pascal, & Newton), and here she turns her attention to another key figure from the Reformation. She writes an engaging account of Tyndale's youth and education, and his determination to translate the Bible: As a young university graduate, he said, ". . . if God spare my life, I will make a boy that driveth the plough know more of the Scripture than [a priest] does."
This is a great biography to read out loud to students from age 10 up. Independent reading level is 5th/6th grade.
