A Must Have

"We do not wish to abolish teaching and to make every man his own master, but if the curates will not teach the gospel, the layman must have the Scripture, and read it for himself, taking God for his teacher."

    - William Tyndale (1494-1536)

Tyndale was one of the earliest translators of the Bible into English, and died a martyr for doing so.
