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.
