Power of the Word

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

When Cambridge University student Thomas Bilney bought a Greek New Testament, his interest was purely academic. But when Bilney opened God’s Word, he encountered the gospel and was transformed.

The Protestant Reformation was underway, so Bilney joined the Cambridge Protestants. He began preaching, but was arrested in 1527 and threatened into silence. But Bilney could not keep quiet. He was arrested, released, and 1531 arrested one last time. Condemned as a heretic, Bilney died at the stake for the gospel of Christ.
