From Library Journal
In the 1300s, it was considered an act of heresy to translate the Scriptures into a language ordinary people could understand. However, Thomas Torr is one who believes that it is vital for everybody to be able to read the Bible in order to profit fully from its teachings. Torr is therefore proud to help John Wycliffe translate the New Testament into English. Based on fact, this story combines elements of religious history with the qualities of a mainstream thriller, which makes for especially exciting reading. Cavanaugh (The Victors, Chariot Victor, 1998) is especially adept at blending a religious message subtly through the storyline, making its effect more profound.
