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.
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. Unfortunately, this King later realised that the translation was not heresy and began his own "Church of England" based on Tyndale's translation. 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. Hutchinson Encyclopaedia: http://ukdb. This was the beginning of Tyndale's influence. The vast bulk of the words we still read in our Bible today are those belonging to the translation that William Tyndale made. It is amazing that someone with as much influence over the lives of so many people as William Shakespeare could be neglected to such an extent.
