Stronger Than Fire

Mark Yoder –  This is the life story of Casiodoro de Reina. Born in 1520, as a youth, “Doro” finds great fulfillment in studying Bible at the Colegio. At the time there was no Spanish translation of the Bible in Spanish available to the public. Doro’s teachers saw a young man with a brilliant mind and presented to him the challenge of translating the Bible to Spanish. Doro chose to do so, though it had to be done in great secrecy, first in a monastery, and eventually leaving Spain for Switzerland, later German and even London. He lived to see his dream accomplished. Spanish translations of today largely follow the translation of Casiodoro de Reino.
