William Tyndale ~ The English Reformation

William Tyndale was a translator of the bible into English who was eventually burnt at the stake for disagreeing with the doctrines of the Catholic Church, and for printing the bible in English - both were crimes punishable by death in Tyndale's day.

(We're non-denominational Christians so the book choices listed in my post reflect that.)
