1534 Tyndale New Testament Review

Text Inside Dust Cover:
William Tyndale was born in Little Sodbury in Gloucestershire, 1494. In early October 1536, at Vilvoorde Castle, which was then part of the Netherlands. William Tyndale was strangled to death while tied at the stake, and then his dead body was burn.

William Tyndale was an English Biblical Scholar, Priest, and Linguist. Tyndale's family name was Hychyns (Hitchins), and it was as William Hychyns that William Tyndale was enrolled at Magdalen Hall, Oxford University, England.

Tyndale was studying theology but the official course at Oxford University did not include the systematic study of Scripture, Tyndale later complained: They have ordained that no man shall look on the Scripture until he is modelled in heathen learning eight or nine years and armed with false principles, with which he is clean shut out of the understanding of the Scripture.

William Tyndale was a gifted linguist in eight languages. Tyndale's translations were the first English Scriptures to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts, and not from the corrupt Latin Vulgate Bible. William Tyndale was the first to use Jehovah ("lehouah") as God's name, in his translations. William Tyndale's New Testament of 1534 is a poignant reminder of the power of the printed word. Without Tyndale's New Testament of 1534 there would have been no King James Bible in 1611.

The impact of his translation has been lasting, and phrases Tyndale coined are still in use today in our everyday language, such as 'the powers that be', 'eat, drink and be merry', 'the spirit is willing' or 'fight the good fight'.

Congregation was used by Tyndale to translate the Greek word "ekklesia" in his New Testament in the sense "an assembly of persons for religious worship and instruction" A community gathers together and set apart for the service of God.
