Synopses & Reviews
In Beyond the Sacred Page, John Foxe, a sincere, godly schoolmaster to the Lord of Gloucestershire, meets William Tyndale at the home of Foxe's master. Foxe is appalled by Tyndale's views of Scripture and considers Tyndale a heretic who must be stopped at all costs. Because Foxe believes that the free circulation of the Bible will lead to spiritual and political anarchy, he and his co-conspirator, Henry Phillips, concoct a plot to sabotage Tyndale's efforts to translate Scripture into English and to kill Tyndale.
Meanwhile Foxe's wife, Meg, stumbles across a copy of Tyndale's translation and its power changes her life. Although she knows of her husband's efforts to squelch the translation and to have Tyndale killed, she can't bring herself to give up the book. She doesn't know how long she can keep her secret obsession hidden from her husband.
