Fire in the Bones by S. Michael Wilcox - February 2011

Brenda Lovell guided our discussion of Fire in the Bones by S. Michael Wilcox.  An invigorating discussion, great quotes, provocative pictures and some fun activities sparked the interests of all.  These well designed questions lead to a heated discussion.

How was Tyndale prepared for his life’s work?

What kind of a person was Tyndale?

What was Tyndale’s grand obsession?


What reasons were given for not wanting the Bible to be in the common tongue?
Were there other reasons?

How does Wilcox compare Tyndale to Joseph Smith?

Did the people want the bible in their own language?

What were some of the doctrines that Tyndale supported that were the most offensive to
those opposed to the translations into English?

What did we loose because of the death of Tyndale?

What was something you learned while reading the book that especially impressed you or
interested you?

How strong is my testimony of what I believe? Am I willing to stand up for it?

What lessons can we learn from the life of William Tyndale?

“I call God to record against the day we shall appear before
our Lord Jesus, to give a reckoning of our doings, that I never
altered one syllable of God’s work against by conscience, nor
would this day, if all that is in the earth, whether it be pleasure,
honor, or riches, might be given me.”
-William Tyndale
