Tyndale Park

Christian Hall of Fame:

William Tyndale was ordained as a priest in 1521, having studied Greek diligently at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, specifically the Textus Receptus. He conferred with Luther in Germany and stayed on the continent translating the Bible from Greek into English and smuggling New Testaments into England. He was betrayed by a friend and was arrested in Brussels, Belgium. He was found guilty of treason and heresy against the church. He was strangled in the courtyard of the prison and burned at the stake.
