Wonderful DVD

"I got this DVD without much expectation. I like to learn, but that usually means tolerating bad films, especially when talking about a film about the 1500's. To my surprize the acting was wonderful, also the scenery was done so well. Everything about this film was great, and I found it to be accurate. I am very surprized how well they did this DVD. It is also very eye opening to see how the translation of the Bible to English came about, and who tried to supress it. With things like the Internet, and DVD technology, the real truth of History is coming to the surface."

Makes you appreciate the Bible and the God who inspired it.

"This dvd is probably one of the best among the historical Christian figures dvd out there (i.e. Wycliffe; Candle in the Dark; etc...). I thought the other ones were of lower quality and script. This one has some fewer cheesy scenes and is more engaging. Better scripted and truer to how this historical characters were perceived at the time. It was inspiring to see this young man struggling through this nightmare without missing his passion for God and others. His purpose was for us being able to read God inspiring text for our own personal liberation but church wanted to keep its monopoly of their own controlling interpretation. To me faith is not a mental thought but rather this kind of perseverance. Furthermore it inspires me to see a Creator that wants to be known beyond religion, church, or our own human inventions in order to benefit us with true Life."

Church History

"This movie acurately tells the story of how the Bible came to the english speaking world. Today so many of us own a Bible written in english yet seldom read it. Here you will see the passion of William Tyndale a linguistic scholar whose heart drove him forward with out regard for his own personal safety in the face of cruel persecution. A must see for anyone interested in knowing the truth of how God's word came to us in english!"

Disappointing

"After reading all the great reviews, I was anxious to receive this DVD. I love religious history, especially of the reformation. I love the stories of Wycliffe and Tyndale, and the books I have read about them I couldn't put down. This DVD lacks the intrigue and suspense of the story. I fell asleep about two-thirds of the way through it. The date says 2004, but it appears to be much older. I think that must be the date that the DVD was released, and probably it was actually filmed in the 80s (just my guess). The background music is very annoying. (An attempt, I think at using period music, but it doesn't work for setting the tone and emotional feel of the film.) Maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought this would be of the same caliber as the recent Luther DVD starring Fiennes. Unfortunately it wasn't even close."
