Three men who dared to circulate English-language translations of the Bible and paid dearly for their heresy are the subject of this episode. The dangerous lives of the Bible translators, John Wycliffe (mid-1320s - 1384) and William Tyndale (c. 1494 - 1536), and the English Reformation leader Thomas Cranmer (1489 - 1556) are depicted. Modern-day scholars and historians are interviewed.
