The Obedience of a Christian Man
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
David Daniell
In this 1528 treatise, which would become
one of the most important publications of
the first phase of the English Reformation,
Tyndale boldly develops the argument
that ordinary believers should take their
spiritual sustenance direct from Scripture.
He was the first to translate the Bible
into English, a heretical undertaking that
eventually led to his execution.
