Fascinating story of Tyndale's translation of the Bible into English. So much opposition, Particular focus on William Tyndale and Sir Thomas More, who seemed a nasty piece of work... ( ) A useful counterpoint to the notion of the bible being a direct divinely written timeless document. This traces the struggles for the Tyndale English translation which was to go on and form 80% of the king James or authorised versions. Had Thomas More succeeded in tracking down Tyndale earlier then a very different English bible may have emerged. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
William Tyndale (1494 - 1536) is one of history's most famous martyrs. Being out of sympathy with the contemporary English church and suspected of heresy, he left England in 1522 and matriculated at Wittenberg two years later where he got to know Luther. In 1525 he translated the New Testament and, by 1531, the Pentateuch. He had reached the book of Jonah when he was burned for heresy near Brussels. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
