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.
Hutchinson Encyclopaedia: http://ukdb. This was the beginning of Tyndale's influence. And so, William Tyndale is acknowledged - and perhaps even more so in the future - as the man responsible for making it possible for ordinary people to read and understand the Holy Scriptures in their own language. People across the world who admire Tyndale for his courage and determination have realised only recently that he has had a large effect and influence on the modern day Bible. Tragically, he was strangled and burned by Henry VIII. 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. In 1611, Tyndale's translation of the New Testament and much of his Old Testament writings were taken almost word for word and reproduced to create the much loved and praised, King James Bible, which is now known as the Authorised Version. com/hutchinson/encyclopedia/36/M0013436. Unfortunately, this King later realised that the translation was not heresy and began his own "Church of England" based on Tyndale's translation.
