Top Highlights

“Probably the most important person in the English Reformation was William Tyndale,” (Page 6)

“This Bible was the predominant Bible among the English for the next hundred years before it was supplanted by the popular King James Version. It was the original, official version of the Scottish Presbyterian Church. It was the Bible of Shakespeare, the Bible the Pilgrims brought with them on the Mayflower to America, and it was the Bible of choice among America’s early colonists.” (Page 7)

“the one definite thing that can be said about the English Reformation is that it was first of all an act of state” (Page 9)

“the Book of Common Prayer and the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion as its foundational documents” (Page 16)

“In 1524, he left England for the continent and studied for a period of time at Wittenberg” (Page 6)

Praise for the Print Edition

Tabletalk has been a key ingredient in the diet of Christians conscious of their spiritual vitality.

—Michael S. Horton

Month by month, Tabletalk represents an oasis in a desert of false spirituality, mindless Christianity, and vapid conviction. Tabletalk represents theological rigor, biblical Christianity, and authentic Christian devotion. It is an antidote to the world of superficial Christianity. Read it and grow.

—R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Tabletalk has been a wonderful resource in my own daily walk with the Lord.

—Ravi Zacharias
