Published in May, 1528, with a forged colophon ("Hans Luft of Marburg;" actually Johannes Hoochstraten in Antwerp), this is the first work by Tyndale to bear his name. His reason for breaking his former anonymity, according to the introduction, is to distance himself from scurrilous propagandists and to embrace the risk of martyrdom. The tract itself begins with an expanded translation of a sermon by Luther on Luke 16. 1-13, better known as "the parable of the unjust steward," then spirals outward to consider other New Testament passages that might seem to contradict the central reformation doctrine of justification by faith. Tyndale's organizing theme is the watchword of the Beatitudes ("Wherefore by their fruits shall ye know them," Matt. 7.20), and his exposition presents good works as the natural and grateful response of the redeemed soul. Perhaps more than Luther would, Tyndale emphasizes that justifying faith must be a "feeling" faith and the works must derive from love. Those who argue for justification by works, in contrast, are "wordly wise" (a deliberate pun on "wordy" and "worldly"), and have corrupted the true doctrine for the sake of material gain. Tyndale's folk images – the simple, trusting, redeemed Christian contrasted with the sophisticated, guileful minion of Antichrist – and the spare rhythms of his prose are intrinsically linked to his argument.
