Answer
Arguing for Caesaropapism, The Obedience of a Christian Man propounds that temporal rulers have the authority to interpret the Bible, and that Christians should obey the state unless its commands conflict with God's. Significantly influencing Henry VIII's break from Rome, the book's stance aligns with Tudor policy, suggesting Tyndale's desire for royal favor and the potential influence of Erasmian humanism on his thought.
