Tyndale: the Man Who Gave God an English Voice

Short Review - Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God an English Voice - Almost nothing is known about Tyndale's life. So this was a very speculative biography. The problem is that it was not always clear when he was being speculative. Also he tried to gain insight by comparing Tyndale to other authors. Which was a nice literary device, but not useful. We do not really know anything about Tyndale's exile by comparing it to Thomas Wolfe traveling Europe. Third, he attributed being first with intention. So because Tyndale was first Teems assumes he intended to change the English language. There is no evidence that Tyndale was trying to change the English language or trying to influence translation theory.
