William Tyndale

William Tyndale was a 16th-century scholar and theologian who is best known for translating the Bible into English. His work made the scriptures accessible to ordinary people at a time when most Bibles were only in Latin, which few could understand. Tyndale’s translation played a crucial role in the spread of Protestant ideas and significantly influenced later English versions, including the King James Bible. He was committed to making the Bible available to all and is considered a key figure in the history of Christian reform and the democratization of religious knowledge.
