The Wanderer

You may be interested in this little beauty: a facsimile of the 1526 edition of William Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament.  This is the same size and shape as the little book that spread through England and produced such marvellous spiritual effects, and – as the pictures show  (fingers cunningly providing scale, although I do have hands the size of shovels) – it is precisely what those men and women would have read.  I intend to use it for my personal devotions in the first part of the year: using a different translation (especially with the different type and spelling) will, perhaps, slow down my reading, and the freshness of the phrasing might assist in a fresh appreciation of the truth.  A worthy Crimbo present, indeed!
