Abstract
In 1529, the same year Sir Thomas More was named Chancellor of England, he first published A dyaloge against Luther and Tyndale. This work which is divided into four books, and with a preface contains approximately 175,000 words, touched off the first great religious controversy carried on in English. The Dyaloge was written at the request of Cuthbert Tunstall, Bishop of London, to refute the heresies in the Lutheran works that had slipped through the tight censorship on the London book trade and also to take issue with Tyndale’s unauthorized English version of the New Testament.
For biographical sketch, see pp. 64–6.
