I feel that as long as I have known that the Bible was not written in the language of King James’ England, I have known that the first translation into English was made by Tyndale. Tyndale was increasingly convinced that everyone should be able to read the Bible in their own language. But the damage was done - the genie was out of the bottle and Tyndale's maryrdom initiated a minor avalanche of new English translations. Tyndale’s translations were considered to be such a threat to Church and state that even in Europe he was not safe.Offering so much more to expand your mind and touch your heart than you can possibly hold in your hand. Some words and phrases have been criticised as inaccurate but Tyndale’s translations have remained the basis for many of the versions of the Bible that have followed.

The prefacist, David Daniell, is known for his modern language version published by Yale University Press, but this is the original Tyndale-spelling edition for us purists. In 1526 the English language was undergoing the "great vowel shift" and changing from the language of Chaucer (for whom we need a translation) to Shakespeare. This new edition is the first complete reprint of William Tyndale's pioneering translation of the New Testament from Greek into English. Within four years of his death, four English translations of the Bible were published in England, including Henry the Eighth’s Great Bible.Cooper, and has an introduction by David Daniell, author of the acclaimed biography of Tyndale and Chairman of the Tyndale Society. It was the first Bible of its kind—with beautiful line-art illustrations spread throughout the Bible. After being arrested in Antwerp, Tyndale was executed as a heretic in 1536 and copies of the book discovered in Britain were burnt.
