"What I find is ironic, no, in fact pathetic, is how little attention this work receives in Christian churches, colleges and seminaries today (of the Protestant perspective).

Wow, William Tyndale's on facebook? Who knew? That's great! :)
Five times today I have tried to allow, and then force post, a comment by Rusty that contained a link to William Tyndale on facebook. Strangely, even though I can get the comment to appear, it will not stay on for more than a few minutes, and then is not here the next time I check. I've never had this happen before.

Okay, I'll give it one more try.

Besides all that stuff could get in the way of unity with Catholics and others who would gladly burn them just as promptly today if they had power over civil law as they once did.
I remind people of this much overlooked man as ofter as I can...

I think it worked this time.
Yeaaa, It worked...
I think the Devil still has it in for William after all the damage he inflicted to his pathetic temporary kingdom....
He's a sore loser.
