A hero for the information age

Tyndale was ultimately more influential, and also in many ways a nobler figure than the more famous religious martyrs of the Tudor era, the Catholic Thomas More and the Protestant Thomas Cranmer. Both More and Cranmer served their time as enforcers of religious intolerance before falling victim to it themselves. No such stain sullies the record of Tyndale. --The Economist, A hero for the information age: Subversion, espionage and a man who gave his life to disseminate the Word, December 18, 2008
