Forgotten Reformer: Myles Coverdale and the First Forty Years of the English Reformation, by G. F. Main

This book review by Prof. Douglas Kuiper examines G. F. Main's biography of Myles Coverdale (1488-1569), a pivotal but often-overlooked English Reformer who contributed significantly to Bible translation work following William Tyndale. The review highlights Coverdale's crucial role in producing the Great Bible and Geneva Bible, his suffering and persecution for making Scripture accessible in English, and his lasting influence on the King James Version. Main's accessible narrative makes this an engaging resource for understanding how God advanced the English Reformation through Coverdale's faithful translation work.
