The Tyndale Bible

The Tyndale Bible refers to the early English translation of the Bible made by William Tyndale in the 16th century. Tyndale's work was groundbreaking because it made Scripture accessible to ordinary people by translating it from Latin and Greek into English. His translation influenced many subsequent versions, including the King James Bible. Tyndale's efforts faced resistance, and he was executed for heresy, but his work greatly contributed to the spread of biblical knowledge and literacy among English speakers. Overall, the Tyndale Bible played a crucial role in shaping Christian, literary, and linguistic history in English-speaking countries.
