The Birth of an English Bible

Born around 1494, Tyndale's exposure to the ideas of Martin Luther kindled within him a deep conviction that the Bible should not be confined to the clutches of the Latin-speaking elite. With unwavering determination, he embarked on an audacious mission to translate the New Testament directly from Greek into English.

Working in secrecy and under the shadow of relentless persecution, Tyndale completed his groundbreaking work in 1526. His English New Testament became an instant sensation, providing ordinary people with the opportunity to read and understand the Word of God for themselves.

Confronting Controversies

Tyndale's translation sparked a firestorm of controversy. The Catholic Church vehemently opposed it, denouncing it as heretical and threatening to burn both Tyndale and his Bibles. Undeterred, Tyndale defended his work with vigor, arguing that every Christian had the right to access the Bible in their own language.

Despite the persecutions and threats, Tyndale refused to compromise his vision. He went on to translate the entire Bible into English, the first of its kind. His work became the foundation upon which subsequent English translations, including the King James Version, were built.

A Legacy that Transcended Time

Tyndale's legacy extends far beyond the pages of his Bibles. His bold fight for religious freedom and his commitment to literacy paved the way for widespread access to education and the empowerment of the English-speaking world.
