A true story, God's Outlaw is about international politics, church
intrigue, cold-blooded betrayal, and false justice ending in a criminal's
death. But it's also about victorious faith and spiritual triumph over
some of the greatest political and religious forces known in the 16th
century.
A simple God-seeking man, William Tyndale somehow became one of the most
wanted men in England and all of Europe. Pursued by King Henry VIII, Lord
Chancellor Sir Thomas More, and the Pope's personal legate Cardinal Wolsey,
he darted across Europe to avoid capture--always pushing to complete the
task that obsessed him.
The task was translating the Bible into English and publishing it for his
fellow countrymen--Englishmen who lived in a country where the Bible and
even prayers in English were outlawed by a harsh and rigid religious
establihsment. Today he is renowned as "the father of the English
Bible," and is recognized as one of the major leaders of the English
Reformation. But the tale of how he lived and died as "God's
outlaw" is a compelling "rest-of-the-story," and is
especially a moving encouragement for modern people of faith.
