About this episode

The episode explores the lives and legacies of Bible translators John Wycliffe and William Tyndale, questioning whether they were heroes or heretics.

While filming the next episode of Can I Trust the Bible? at Yarnton Manor in Oxford, Ben sits down with Wes and Andy to explore the story of Bible translation and the men who risked their lives to make Scripture accessible to ordinary people. Were pioneers like John Wycliffe (1328–1384) and William Tyndale (1494–1536) courageous heroes of the faith, or dangerous heretics who challenged the authority of the Church? Join us as we examine their lives, their legacy, and why the translation of the Bible remains one of the most controversial chapters in Christian history.
