The Tyndale Bible is an English translation of the Bible by William Tyndale, completed in the early 16th century. It was the first printed English translation and played a crucial role in making the scriptures accessible to ordinary people. Tyndale's work was based on the original Hebrew and Greek texts, and it significantly influenced later translations, including the King James Version. Tyndale's translation faced opposition from religious authorities, leading to his arrest and execution in 1536. Despite this, his work laid the foundation for English Bible translations and contributed to the Protestant Reformation, promoting the idea that individuals should read and interpret the Bible for themselves.
