A detailed Summary of WILLIAM_TYNDALE_ESSAY

"How has William Tyndale's translation influenced all the following English translations of the Bible?"

In 1525, William Tyndale began to write his famous version of the scriptures. Printing had already been achieved, so Tyndale had the desire to give the people a Bible of their own, in their own language. By 1526, Tyndale's version of the English Bible had been published and printed. There was great turmoil over the translation however, because the King of England, Henry VIII decreed that the translation was heresy. By this time, Tyndale's English Bible translation had proven so popular that it had already been copied several times and was being read by many people. This version of the New Testament, and some of the Old Testament, was spread throughout the known world.

get to see his English Bible flourish and rapidly spread worldwide. Tragically, he was strangled and burned by Henry VIII. Unfortunately, this King later realised that the translation was not heresy and began his own "Church of England" based on Tyndale's translation. When Henry VIII realised his error, he began to make as many copies of the English Bible possible. Changing the ways of the old Roman Catholic Church, he allowed for everyone who could read, the chance to have an English Bible translation of their own. This was the beginning of Tyndale's influence.
