Invited to reflect on Tyndale, the Bible, and the 21st century, Dr Jane Williams observed that the Bible placed into every person’s hand was “a glorious gift”, but “dangerous”, too. Recent reports suggest that this dangerous gift is in the hands of a growing number of people. Amid talk of a “quiet revival”, the clergy report people — young men in particular — arriving at church as if from nowhere, having read the Bible for themselves. Finding Jesus reported that “a significant number” of converts were “making some kind of commitment with only a very limited understanding of the gospel”. The “ploughboy on his own out in the field”, in Dr Williams’s reading, could receive the gift as part of a congregation of the faithful.
