Description

Myles Coverdale (1488–1569) is the little-known first translator of the complete Bible into English after the invention of the printing press. As a forerunner to the Puritans’ non-conformity, Coverdale was forced to flee England. He lived in exile three separate times for his translation work and Reformed convictions. G. F. Main now presents the rarely told tale of this forgotten Reformer in a riveting biography.
