Many of us owe a great debt to William Tyndale. This farmer became convicted that the Scriptures should be translated into English and disseminated among the people of England. He threw himself into the work and began producing Bibles.
Being that the Catholic church at that time did not allow the Scriptures to be in the hands of the common person, the Archbishop of England sought to purge England of the Bibles. He did not order them all to be burned, as that would create an uprising among the people. Instead he sought to rid England of them by buying them all up. But this just provided Tyndale with more money to make more Bibles!
