ABSTRACT

This chapter provides an academic debate between Thomas More and William Tyndale Concerning Interpretation. The rejection of the use of images was founded, according to More, on a set of biblical texts: Non facies tibi sculptile, thou shalt carve thee none image. In addition, the Parable of Wicked Mammon of 1528 provides an extended example of biblical interpretation, Doctrinal Treatises. Cuthbert Tunstall commissioned Thomas More to take up his pen in defence of the catholic church he had for some years been fighting a losing battle against Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament, which continued to flood in from the continent following its publication at Worms in 1526. Scripture was for Tyndale integral to his inmost experience of faith and salvation. He believed it to have a transforming effect on the human heart and to embody all that was necessary for salvation, whether in terms of belief or of practice.
