The Parable of the Wicked Mammon

William Tyndale (c. 1494-1536)

Tyndale's first work to bear his name, published in exile in Antwerp in 1528 at the risk of his life. An extended commentary on Christ's parable of the unjust steward, it argues that faith alone justifies before God and that good works are the fruit and evidence of faith, not their cause. Working through dozens of New Testament passages that might seem to contradict this doctrine, Tyndale shows how every apparent proof-text for merit-based salvation is rightly read as describing the life that flows from a justified heart.
