| | William Tyndale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tyndale studied the Scriptures and began to endorse the doctrines of the Reformation, views which were considered heretical, first by the Catholic Church, and later the Church of England. | | | It has been asserted that Tyndale's place in history has not yet been sufficiently recognized as a translator of the Scriptures, as an apostle of liberty, and as a chief promoter of the Reformation in England. | | | There he studied the work of the Bible scholar Erasmus, who believed that the scriptures are "the food of [a man's] soul; and. |

| | But in London Tyndale was firmly rebuffed when he sought the support of Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall, who was uneasy, like many highly placed churchmen, with the idea of the Bible in the vernacular. | | | The reforming movement had insisted, since the time of John Wycliffe, that the scriptures should be available to everyone and not kept in the hands of the establishment so that they could make their own rules. | | | Copies of the New Testament in English arrived in Tyndale's country in 1526, and the work was given a very hostile reception by the Church. |

| | William Tyndale biography |
| | Tyndale was a man of both learning and talent; his translations were made directly from the Hebrew and Greek, and furnished the basis for the authorized version. | | | He preached frequently and, his opinions differing from those of the clergy of the neighborhood, he became involved in religious dispute, and an accusation was made against him before William of Malvern, chancellor of the diocese, who censured him for his boldness and indiscretion. | | | Tyndale remained on the Continent writing tracts in advocacy of the reformed doctrines. |

| | Tyndale vowed that if his life were spared he would see that a farmhand knew more of scripture than a contemptuous clergyman. | | | As he was seized by that gospel which scripture uniquely attests, Tyndale became aware that his vocation was that of translator; he was to put into common English a translation of the bible which the public could read readily and profit from profoundly. | | | There was enormous need for him and his vocation, as England was sunk in the most abysmal ignorance of scripture. |

| | History of Our English Bible |
| | William Tyndale was a man chosen of God to fulfill a need for his Church. | | | He argued with the priests, and exhorted them to the study of the Scriptures for themselves; and it was about this time that, one day, in the heat of argument, he startled all around by his memorable declaration, the fulfillment of which was afterward the object of his life. | | | Tyndale disturbed local priests by routing them at the dinner table with chapter and verse of Scripture. |

| | It is true that Tyndale had many friends, also in Antwerp; but it seems that we finally must come to the conclusion that God watched over His servant in a special way because God was bringing reformation through His holy Word to England. | | | In 1537 (one year after Tyndale's death) it was ordered by the king of England to be placed in every parish church in the realm and made available to every man, woman and child within the kingdom. | | | And, undoubtedly persuaded by Luther's doctrine of the priesthood of all believers, he understood that the Bible had to be in the hands of every believer in a language which they understood. |

| | William Tyndale - Heretical Blasphemer? |
| | Tyndale stood for the truth as taught by the scriptures, and he was determined to see to it that the Bible was distributed in the English language so that others might know that same truth by reading it for themselves. | | | I for one, do not question that Tyndale will see the kingdom of God, not because of his mighty work, but because of his awesome faith that carried him on in the face of such adversity. | | | According to David Daniell, Tyndale had translated the Greek word for 'elder' as 'elder' instead of 'priest', he had translated the Greek word for 'congregation' as 'congregation' instead of 'church', the Greek word for 'repentance' as 'repentance' instead of 'penance' etc. Why were such differences important to the church? |

| | Although he was not punished, this experience led him to believe that the root cause of all such religious clamoring was a basic lack of scriptural knowledge. | | | While tied to the stake, and just prior to being strangled by the executioner, he cried: "Lord, open the King of England's eyes." Tyndale's prayer had already been granted, for he did not know that for several months, the Henry VIII had given permission for Myles Coverdale's vernacular Bibles to be distributed. | | | Tyndale used the Bishop's money to print even more Bibles, and circulation soon increased. |

| | Because England was no safe place to translate the Bible, Tyndale left for the Continent, never to return. | | | The bishops had banned the English Bible since 1408 because they feared the Lollards, who had their own translation (the Wycliffe Bible). | | | But the bishops were more concerned with preventing the spread of Lutheran ideas than promoting the study of Scripture. |

| | The Life and Story of the True Servant and Martyr of God, William Tyndale |
| | As this grew on, the priests of the country, clustering together, began to grudge and storm against Tyndale, railing against him in alehouses and other places, affirming that his sayings were heresy; and accused him secretly to the chancellor, and others of the bishop's officers. | | | When the time came for his appearance before the chancellor, he threatened him grievously, reviling and rating him as though he had been a dog, and laid to his charge many things whereof no accuser could be brought forth, notwithstanding that the priests of the country were there present. | | | Whereupon, considering in his mind, and conferring also with John Frith, Tyndale thought with himself no way more to conduce thereunto, than if the Scripture were turned into the vulgar speech, that the poor people might read and see the simple plain Word of God. |

| | It was on this date, October 6, 1536, that William Tyndale, the priest and scholar who translated the Bible into English, was strangled and burned to death in Belgium — a victim of religious intolerance during the Reformation. | | | He found friends and hiding places, some so secret they remain unknown to this day, where he could spend the time it took to meticulously and poetically render the complex dead languages. | | | In London, Tyndale conceived the idea of translating the Bible into vernacular English, so that even "a boy that driveth the plough" might — not read them, of course, because literacy was in the single digits at the time, but understand the words in English, rather than the original Greek and Hebrew. |
