Tyndale Society in the US News...

Bill Cooper's authoritative TSJ review of David Teems' Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God and English Voice has this week been cited in the US press...

Breathecast's Christian Post reports "Teems recently received high praise when England's scholarly Tyndale Society reviewed his critically acclaimed biography, Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God An English Voice.

"The review, which appeared in the latest edition of The Tyndale Society Journal, extolled Teems for his original approach to William Tyndale as a man.

"'Teems concentrates not on what was important to Tyndale's peers and contemporaries, nor yet to his more modern biographers, but on what was important to William Tyndale himself,' writes reviewer Dr. William Cooper."

"Cooper praises Teems for his wise use of authoritative source material and his concise, pithy style of writing, but was most impressed with Teems' bold approach to Tyndale's spiritual side."

The original review appeared on page 64 of The Tyndale Society Journal No. 41.
