Translated by William Tyndale Reprint of 1534 edition with modern spelling 643 pp.

William Tyndale's translation of the New Testament is one of the most influential works in English literature. His unauthorized translations of the entire New Testament and a substantial part of the Old Testament were smuggled into England, where an eager public risked their lives to read them.

Facsimile reprint of the first English translation from Greek of the New Testament.

This is William Tyndale's New Testament as it was published in the 1537 Matthew Bible, complete with commentaries from the Reformation, and gently updated by Ruth Magnusson Davis. This is the only 'modern' bible which is not. It maintains the historic language and enduring doctrine of the faith.

Traces the life of William Tyndale, the first person to translate the Bible into English from the original Greek and Hebrew and discusses the social, literary, religious, and intellectual implications of his work.

How did the Bible get translated into English and made available to English-speaking people? The Bible in English tells the dramatic story of these events, and of the human costs involved. In this concise yet thorough study, John Long answers the above questions, exploring the lives and deaths of John Wycliffe and William Tyndale and explaining their roles in translating the Latin Vulgate and the New Testament, respectively. Long discusses the Roman Catholic Church's resistance to translation of the scriptures from Latin into English and other languages, and he shows which parts of Tyndale's translation endured to appear in the King James, Revised Standard, American Standard, New American Standards, New King James, and other translations of the Bible in English. This easy-to-read, comprehensive book is a fascinating study of a dramatic time in the Bible's history.
