The
untold history of the Bible
A Lamp in the Dark is an exciting new
documentary that unfolds the fascinating
"untold" history of the Bible, revealing
critical information often overlooked in
modern histories. Enter into a world of
saints and martyrs battling against spies,
assassins and wolves in sheep's clothing.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the Papal
Inquisition forbade biblical translation,
threatening imprisonment and death to those
who disobeyed. Learn the stories of valiant
warriors of the faith, such as John
Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther,
the ancient Waldenses, Albigenses and others
who hazarded their lives for the sake of
sharing the Gospel light with a world
drowning in darkness.
Once the common people were able to read
the Bible, the world was turned upside down
through the Protestant Reformation. The
Reformers subdued whole kingdoms by
preaching the grace of God, and exposing the
unbiblical doctrines of Rome. In response,
the Vatican would launch a Counter
Reformation to destroy the work of the
Reformers, including the bibles they
produced.
About the production
A Lamp in the Dark was filmed on
locations in England and Belgium, and
features never before seen interviews with
leading Bible scholars, including David
Brown, Roger Oakland, Alan O' Reilly, D.A.
Waite and others. Also included are chief
curators from the British Library in London,
Erasmus House in Belgium, and the William
Tyndale Museum in Vilvoorde, where Tyndale
himself was burnt at the stake.
This ground-breaking documentary is also
filled with rich visual graphics and
dramatic re-enactments of key historic
events.
