William Tyndale (sometimes spelled Tindall or Tyndall pronounced /ˈtɪndəl/ ) (c. ) was a 16th-century Protestant reformer and scholar who translated the Bible into the Early Modern English of his day. While a number of partial and complete Old English translations had been made from the seventh century onward, and Middle English translations particularly during the 14th century , Tyndale's was the first English translation to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts, and the first to take advantage of the new medium of print , which allowed for its wide distribution. In Tyndale was arrested, jailed in the castle of Vilvoorde outside Brussels for more than a year, tried for heresy and treason and then strangled and burnt at the stake Much of Tyndale's work eventually found its way into the King James Version (or "Authorised Version") of the Bible, published in 1611, which, as the work of 54 independent scholars revising the existing English versions, is to a large extent based on Tyndale's translations.

William Tyndale
William Tyndale (ca. 1495-1536) was the greatest of all English biblical scholars. His translation of the Bible into English formed the major part of the Authorized Version, or King James Bible. William Tyndale was born in Gloucestershire and mostly educated at Oxford, where he earned a master of arts degree in 1515. He became a priest and, doubtless influenced among other things by the work of John Colet and Erasmus at Cambridge some years earlier, decided to produce an English translation of the Bible. He found support from a rich London cloth merchant. Within months, however, he became convinced he must leave London if he was to succeed; and, accordingly, with the financial support of the merchant, he left England in 1524, never again to return. After short sojourns in Hamburg, and, possibly, Wittenberg , Tyndale settled down at Cologne in 1525. He quickly began the printing of his New Testament, but only a few sheets had been finished when the city fathers got wind of it and stopped it. The work was resumed at Worms, and by April 1526 an octavo edition was being sold in London. In November all available copies were burned at St. Paul's Cross. In 1528 Tyndale published the

You are here: Following Jesus Learn More about Christian Persecution! William Tyndale How did William Tyndale suffer persecution?
William Tyndale was born near the border of Wales in 1494. He was educated at Oxford and Cambridge and later began his work of translating the Bible into English. Tyndale delighted in defending his beliefs while having discussions at the home where he resided. The local clergy who visited to dine soon grew weary of Tyndale's constant criticism of their doctrines. They became so weary with him, that they began to bear a grudge against him in their hearts.
Tyndale knew that in order for lay people to know the truth of God's Word, they needed to be able to read it for themselves. The clergy kept the Scriptures hidden and unavailable to their congregations. God gave William Tyndale the will and wisdom to begin translating and printing the New Testament.
The printing began in Cologne, Germany in 1525, but was interrupted by a legal injunction. The printing of his work was completed in Worms, Germany in 1526. Later Tyndale translated the Old Testament as well. It was of great spiritual benefit to the godly lay people of that day.
Tyndale experienced a lot of harassment, ridicule, and threats from the clergy and their aids throughout his lifetime of work for the Lord. Finally, in Antwerp, Henry Philips tricked him into coming out of the house, where officers were waiting to arrest him. He was condemned by decree of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, at Augsburg, in 1530. On October 6, 1530, in the town of Vivorde, Netherlands, William Tyndale was tied to a stake, strangled by the hangman to the point of death and then burned in fire for doing God's Work. It is said that as he met the Lord, Tyndale cried with a loud voice, "Lord! Open the King of England's eyes!"

William Tyndale was born in Slymbridge in about 1496. After being educated at Magdalen Hall Oxford , he became a chaplain. While studying at Oxford he became very interested in the ideas of John Wycliffe and the Lollards. Tyndale became convinced that the church had become corrupt and selfish. Like Wycliffe, Tyndale thought it was important that people had the opportunity to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. Tyndale wanted to translate the Bible into English but at that time Henry VIII and the English church were very much against the idea. In 1524 Tyndale went to Hamburg where he met Martin Luther and the following year moved to Cologne where he managed to arrange for his translation of the Bible to be printed in English. The translation owed much to the work of Desiderius Erasmus . During the next few years 18,000 copies of this bible were printed and smuggled into England.

William Tyndale
- Father Of the English Bible -
Tyndale became embroiled in conflict with the local clergy, and the Roman Catholic church, because of his Reformation belief that the Bible should be made available to all people, not just the priesthood. He declared to one cleric (by quoting Erasmus's famous quote) "If God spare my life, ere many years pass, I will cause a boy who driveth the plough to know more of the Scriptures than though dost." It was during this time in his life that he determined that he was going to translate the Bible into English so that the common people could read the Word of God for themselves. They would then be free from the ignorance, heresies, and superstitions of the Roman Catholic Church. Until now, the only English translation available was the banned Wycliffe Bible but they had never been printed on a press and there were few copies. Also, the accuracy had to be improved because it was translated from the Latin Vulgate not the original Greek or Hebrew. Translator in Exile
Tyndale's Legacy By 1539 supporters of the Reformation cause had persuaded King Henry VIII to order that every parish church make an English copy of the Bible available to all its parishioners. What a man of courage! William Tyndale gave his life in the service of Jesus Christ to ensure that the Scriptures would be available for all to read! It was through the availability of the Scriptures that the truth of God's Word could be rediscovered, and the people could be freed from the heresies and superstitions of Rome.

http://www.victorshepherd.on.ca/Heritage/Tyndale.htm
William Tyndale I: He was not someone who made trouble for the sake of making trouble. Neither did he have a personality as prickly as a porcupine. He didn't relish controversy, confrontation and strife. Nonetheless, he was unable to avoid it. At some point he became embroiled with many of England's "Who's Who" of the sixteenth century. Anne Boleyn, one of Henry VIII's many wives, flaunted her notorious promiscuity and Tyndale called her on it. Thomas Wolsey, cardinal of the church and sworn to celibacy, fathered at least two illegitimate children and drew Tyndale's fire. Thomas More, known to us through the play about him, A Man For All Seasons , advanced theological arguments which Tyndale believed to contradict the kingdom of God and imperil the salvation of men and women and Tyndale rebutted him bravely. William Tyndale graduated from Oxford University in 1515, and then moved over to Cambridge to pursue graduate studies, Cambridge being at that time a hotbed of Lutheran theology and Reformation ferment. 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. Worse, the clergy didn't care. Tyndale vowed that if his life were spared he would see that a farmhand knew more of scripture than a contemptuous clergyman.

http://muse.jhu.edu/demo/renaissance_quarterly/v060/60.1kujawa-holbrook.html
Renaissance Quarterly [Access article in PDF] Reviewed by Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook Episcopal Divinity School Ralph S. Werrell. The Theology of William Tyndale. Theologically, Tyndale was a voice for the reformers. He believed that the way to God for all believers was through study of the Word, and that the Bible should be available to all. Tyndale has long been undervalued as a reform theologian beyond his role as an important translator. Ralph S Werrell's new book, The Theology of William Tyndale , is an attempt to rectify this imbalance in scholars' perception of Tyndale as an important theological thinker and contributor to the theology of the English Reformation. Werrell's work is the first full-length treatment of Tyndale's theological vision, and its impact on his scriptural study and translation. He argues that while Tyndale's roots could be traced to the Lollard tradition, he incorporated a wider variety of influences into his work. Interestingly, Werrell also contends that while Tyndale was obviously knowledgeable when it came to the continental theology of Luther and Calvin, as well as the Roman Catholic theology of the period, he was not influenced by it. Rather, Tyndale brought fresh scriptural insights to reformed theology, as well as to Christian and intellectual discourse. Throughout his book Werrell asserts that there is an essential unity to Tyndale's theology that has been missed by other scholars. His reliance on scripture alone as the basis for his theology, rather than a reliance on the works of Greek philosophers, led him to some unique conclusions. Tyndale's theology stressed the importance of the covenant from the perspective of the persons of the trinity. For Tyndale, the divine fatherhood of God and the elect as his children points to a new form of Christian community and a new creation. God's covenant is for the restoration of the whole of creation, according to Tyndale, even as far as compassion for animals. He believed that the problem of the medieval Church was that

Around 1520, William Tyndale became a tutor in the family of Sir John Walsh, at Little Sodbury in Gloucestershire. Having become attached to the doctrines of the Reformation, and devoted himself to the study of the Scriptures, the open avowal of his sentiments in the house of Walsh, his disputes with Roman Catholic dignitaries there, and especially his preaching, excited much opposition, and led to his removal to London (about Oct., 1523), where he began to preach, and made many friends among the laity, but none among church leaders.

Tyndale's Life
William Tyndale is believed to have been born near Dursley, Gloucestershire, UK in 1494. The Tyndales were also known by the surname 'Hychyns'. It was as William Hychyns that Tyndale went to Magdalen Hall, Oxford, now part of Hertford College . He was admitted to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts on 4 July 1512 and to Master of Arts on 2 July 1515. Fluent in at least 7 languages, he translated much of the Bible into English from the original Greek and Hebrew sources. (Earlier, John Wycliffe had worked from Jerome's Latin 'Vulgate'.) In doing so he gave the English language many of its best known phrases. Much of his work appears, unchanged but unacknowledged in the 'Authorized' (or 'King James') version of the Bible. At that time, translating the Bible was considered heretical. Tyndale fled to Germany in 1524, later to Belgium. He continued his work, translating the New Testament in 1526 and again in 1534. Eventually, he was betrayed to the authorities. He was strangled, and his dead body was burnt, on 6 October 1536.
