DOCUMENTARY SYNOPSIS
A Lamp in the Dark is an exciting documentary that unfolds the fascinating “untold” history of the Bible, revealing critical information often overlooked in modern histories. Enter into a world of saints and martyrs battling against spies, assassins and wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the Papal Inquisition forbade biblical translation, threatening imprisonment and death to those who disobeyed. Learn the stories of valiant warriors of the faith, such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, the ancient Waldenses and others who hazarded their lives for the sake of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a lost and dying world.
Once the common people were able to read the Bible, the world was turned upside down through the Protestant Reformation. The Reformers subdued whole kingdoms by preaching the grace of God and exposing the unbiblical doctrines of Rome. In response, the Vatican would launch a Counter Reformation, with the establishment of the Jesuit Order, in order to destroy the work of the Reformers, including the bibles they produced.
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
A Lamp in the Dark was filmed on locations in England and Belgium and features never before seen interviews with leading Bible scholars, including David Brown, Roger Oakland, Alan O’Reilly, D.A. Waite and others. Also included are chief curators from the British Library in London, Erasmus House in Belgium, and the William Tyndale Museum in Vilvoorde, where Tyndale himself was burnt at the stake.
This ground-breaking documentary is also filled with rich visual graphics and dramatic re-enactments of key historic events.
Included in this 3 hour DVD:
1) The history of the early Church, with the warnings from Jesus and the Apostles about “grievous wolves” and apostasy.
2) How the Inquisition began for the purpose of silencing Christians and outlawing the Bible.
3) The Bible translations of John Wycliffe and William Tyndale, the Great Bible, the Geneva Bible, and finally the King James Version.
4) The Protestant Reformation and the reasons behind it.
5) Key doctrines confronted by the Reformers (i.e. Indulgences, Inspiration of Scripture, Salvation, Transubstantiation, Veneration of Mary, and Papal claims of authority).
6) The Counter Reformation which began with the founding of the Jesuit Order in 1540.
7) The Vatican’s involvement with the Critical Text and their influence over world-wide biblical translation in the 20th century.
D.J. Edwards –
“Fantastic!!! …. Not only do you learn the history, you learn the meaning of the personal acts of so many people who have struggled and suffered for those very things that we so willingly turn our backs on today. … great job with the writing, the research, the reenactments … the whole thing is just fantastic.”
T. Allen –
“One of my favorites! …. This film has been a true revelation for me, shedding light on aspects of the Bible’s history that I had never considered before. …. It’s a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of this influential text and its enduring legacy. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in history, religion, or the written word.”

“Words can’t describe how wonderful this documentary is.”
La Marchesa –
“BY NO MEANS BORING. … I thought it would be a boring documentary …. How wrong I was! It is divided in three parts, each unique and necessary to understand the other. A magnificent journey of how the KJV Bible of 1611 came to be, but it is a whole lot more. It gives a voice to all the people who sacrifices themselves to make the the Scripture available to the common people.”

“Looking for a thorough investigation of true Christianity Look no further. I’m truly thankful for the depth of clearly deep research and fact finding that has gone into this amazing documentary.”
JPinCA –
“Truly without parallel in this generation, most likely the best documentary of our lifetime. Not too many quality documentary makers are brave enough and wise enough to produce such a documentary as this one, Rome has always been the enemy of Bible based Christianity, this film helps show that in a straight forward way while at the same time being the best film of our lifetime on how we got the Bible in our own language …”
