Welcome back to another episode of Five Minutes in Church History. It's a real pleasure to be joined by Dr. John MacArthur. Dr. MacArthur, it's good to see you.

Thank you. Good to see you, Steve.

And we're here at Ligonier's National Conference in 2021. We're talking about the theme right now, counts forever.

You know, we hear so much about so many of the key events, posting of the 95 CCs.

We think of all those great reformation events. We think of the great awakening.

But what about some of those events that don't always get maybe the attention they deserve?

And for some folks today, maybe even go unnoticed. So I thought I'd take a moment with you.

And just see if there are any of those types of events or moments in church history that have impacted you especially

and your faithful ministry that you've had to the church and see if you'd like to share that with our folks here in five minutes.

Indeed. The Yale biography. I read it twice. It was so loaded.

It's intriguing. Tyndale, this should be a movie.

Yeah, no. Yeah, it should be a series of movies.

But there are so many fascinating moments. I mean, obviously I love the fact that God revealed his word.

But I also love the fact that he protected it.

And I don't think we give Tyndale enough credit for basically deciding under the spirit's power

that I'm going to translate the New Testament into English, which was a crime.

And he was chased out of England and he went to Europe and you know the story.

He's over in Europe and he's working on it and working on it.

And eventually as the story ends, he has discovered he's uncovered in Antwerp by a guy named Henry Phillips

who they've been looking for him and they can't find him. They finally found him.

They take him to Brussels and they burn him at the stake for translating the Bible into the English language.
