The Strange Protestant Bible of Henry VIII
This video looks at the Great Bible of Henry VIII published in 1539, and it shows how the Tyndale translations were copied into the Coverdale and Matthew Bibles to end up making a uniquely Protestant Bible for a king who didn't want it.

Ryan, I just finished your book. Well done. In your book, (section on The Jewish Canon), there’s an incredible claim; you claim that: The author of the original texts and oral traditions were called directly by God. What’s the evidence for such an assertion? Why not weigh the chances of objective proof-for example Bayesian probability-the likelihood that a ‘god’ inspired text as conjecture and subjective? There's zero evidence of 'god'. And what defines ‘god’? Ever watch Ancient Aliens? ...Here's a reply: Apologists bend over backward to square the circle. You make the claim that…”The books of Moses and the larger and shorter prophetic books clearly fit into the category of God’s direct authorship-and written or recorded based on the teachings of Israelite leaders.” Where’s any objective evidence of an empirical foundation of the later KJV’s evidence of provenance? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There is Zero primary source evidence. Oral traditions? The KJV, which BTW, has thousands of issues not outlined in your book i.e. there’s no primary sources or corroborating historical attestations of miraculous accounts in the KJV or its predecessor texts. Quite the contrary. A big, big, problem for the KJV as an authority. Interesting. Now that everyone has a phone with a camera available I can't wait for the upload to FB or KZread of any evidence of a divine miraculous event or the devil's influence i.e. demonic possession. *(Sources)* Scott, E.F., 1940.

Tyndale wrote a book titled “The Obedience of a Christian Man” which was published in 1528. One point in Tyndale's book was it advocated that the king of a country was the head of that country's church, rather than the pope, and to be the first instance, in the English language at any rate, of advocating the divine right of kings, a concept mistakenly attributed to the Catholic Church. Despite being officially banned, Obedience was still very popular and widely read throughout England. Anne Boleyn, (who later to became Henry VIII's second wife) owned a copy. As Henry was trying to obtain permission from the Pope to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Anne asked Henry to read Obedience. Afterward, Henry exclaimed, “This is a book for me and all kings to read”. It is believed that this book greatly influenced Henry VIII of England decision in declaring the “Act of Supremacy”, by which he became Supreme Head of the Church of England, in 1534. Tyndale's opposition to Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon earned him the king's enmity, but when Tyndale was arrested by the Roman Catholic authorities in Antwerp in 1535, Henry's chief minister Thomas Cromwell attempted unsuccessfully to intervene on his behalf. Tyndale was executed for heresy the following year.

Is it ironic that Tyndale’s “Obedience” might have inspired the King on the one hand while forming much of the backbone for the KJV which in time would likely be the preferred translation for those most anti-hierarchical Protestant streams?

@@eddievangundy4510There is only One Head of the Church Christ! However, the King is God's Anointed Prince, and is responsible before God for the Health and Well-being of the Church in all lands that God has given the King to Judge, Protect, and Guide the People. A Christian King is Anointed with the Holy Oils by the Bishop and with this Anointing comes Responsibility, Grace and Wisdom to Protect not only the Civil Government of the People, but also the Holy Church in all the Lands God has given the King Authority over. Christian Kings in neither the East or the West were considered simple layman, but a clergy member in spite of not being a Bishop, Priest, or Deacon. This is True not only under the New Testament, but also under the Old Testament. King David, Solomon, Josiah etc. Exercised Legitimate Authority over the Church of their day. The Archbishop or Metropolitan of the Kingdom is a legitimate subject of the Monarch of the Land. A Christian King is supposed to be an Icon of Christ for his people. Christ is the only perfect Icon of the Father!

Come back Ryan! We need more content
Thank you for all these videos professor Reeves, I am so excited to see that you may return. I came to your videos for the history, but they have helped me start to reignite my faith, which I truly need right now.
Oh thank God, you didn’t quit. Just finished your Tolkien/Lewis playlist a few months back and shared it with all my friends. Intellectual gold. Glad to have you back!
I found your channel earlier in the week. I’ve since spent a lot of time watching eight or nine of your video lectures. I’m learning a lot and really enjoying it. Thank you.
Ryan, I really appreciate all your videos. I come back to them over and over again because you are so intelligent about them, and deliver a very even-keeled summary. I wish you Easter blessings and hope you continue with more videos, although I know how much work they are to produce.
Really excited to see you uploading again!

Hi Ryan. Just wanted to let you know that I've listened to your extensive church history series in its entirety several times over some years (I tend to put it on pretty much whenever I'm decorating/renovating the house, etc), and I think it's possibly the best thing I've found on youtube. I do hope one day you'll return with another series. Any plans in the pipeline?

Dr Reeves. When are you are going to present another lecture about bible history ? I love listening to your lectures and just told my nephew to watch your videos and i told him about your book and he ordered it. It arrive on Wednesday at his home
Just ordered the book, looking forward to it. Currently reading Dr. Michael Kruger's book "Canon Revisited" as this topic is of great interest to me.
My impression on your videos so far is that you attempted to understand and explain church history as it is (and I applaud that). You’re a rare bird! My only concern is that you should include extensive sources in every video description like this. It’s very easy nowadays to access any information on the internet without discernment. Blessings.
Excellent, thank you for your channel. Would you consider creating a video on "the confessing church" ? With appreciation
Hey Ryan your videos have been so helpful. I hope ur alright! id love to see you do a series on Paul and his historical context
Based on the comments you wrote it seems like your coming back soon! Setup a Patreon account and I will start donating each time you make a video. I love your lectures for their historical authenticity and your seemingly unbiased view on different topics.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the great works on the faith! I have a question for you if you please. The books that made it to the bible were screened through the Church Traditions (practices and beliefs originating from the Apostles). So it is this “Traditions” that defined the books of the bible, and thus superior. Is this correct?
In your research did you consider the literature of Jaroslav Pelikan, the book in particular The reformation of The Bible: The Bible of the reformation or any Eastern Orthodox scholars especially concerning the septuagint?
Yes please. More videos. I’m in France taking the agregation exam. The topic is emergence and transformations of puritanism 1559-1642. I need help!!!

"As if he threw someone off the top of a steeple and ordered him to stop half way down". I haven't heard that before but it sums up Henry's approach to reformation very well. Who said it?

Hi there. Have you read Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell trilogy? I recently bought Diarmaid MacCulloch's mammoth Cromwell biography. Looking forward to delving deeper into the period. I finished my PhD last year. My diss considered how revolutionary ideas transformed religiously-derived concepts of community in English, Irish, and Mexican Literature (1789-1832). The legacies of the Reformation as you know are still shaping England and Ireland at this time but now with the reality of revolution and revolutionary ideas impacting politics and culture. Now that I'm done with the diss, I've been wanting to know more about my time period's pre-history, especially in terms of the Reformation. Thought Mantel, one of the better historical novelists today if not the best, might be a fun way to do this. Your videos are interesting too. I'm also reading Lyndal Roper's Luther bio (she might have written two: I'm reading the newer bio, not the psychobiographical one, though I do want to read it too.) This is all to say: I've caught the Reformation History bug :-)

The Wolf Hall miniseries is a nearly perfect historical drama. Everything is so well done from the acting to the sets, the costumes, the lighting, all of it. The only thing that keeps it from seeming like they travelled back in time with cameras and filmed the actual events is the fact that so many of the actors have familiar faces from other movies and TV shows. Really hope they do another series for the third book with the same actors reprising their roles from Wolf Hall where ever possible.
