The site, one of a network of about 20, presents itself as a legitimate news outlet while spreading pro-Iran propaganda and attempting to sow distrust in the U.S. election process and foreign policy. The campaign is reportedly part of a larger effort by foreign actors to undermine confidence in American democracy.

  • How William Tyndale gave us the modern English Bible

  • On October 6th, we remember William Tyndale, a pioneer in translating the Bible into English. Born in Gloucestershire in the early 1490s, Tyndale was determined to make the Bible accessible to all English speakers. His efforts to translate the New Testament from Greek led him to flee England after facing opposition from religious authorities. Despite setbacks, including the destruction of his early work, Tyndale completed the New Testament in 1526 and continued translating the Old Testament. His translations formed the basis of later English Bibles, including the King James Version. Tyndale was martyred in 1536, but his legacy lives on in modern Bible translations.
