  • Haddington House Journal 6
    Haddington House Journal, 2004 William Tyndale – Reformer and Translator Supreme2 Leslie McDonald* * Leslie McDonald was born in Southall, Middlesex, England, and was ordained to the ministry in 1961. He served as a church planter in the Philippines with Overseas Missionary Fellowship for thirteen years before coming to Canada in 1977 to pastor a Baptist church in Lively, Ontario. After eleven years, he moved to New Brunswick, pastoring in Lakeville and Florenceville for a total of thirteen years. He and his wife, Lorraine, now reside in Moncton, N.B., where Les is semi-retired, continuing to do modular teaching sessions in the Philippines with Carey Ministries. Elements leading up to the Reformation in England The beginning of the church in England can be traced back to sometime in the second century. By the fourth century, the church had developed to the point where bishops were representing English interests at the Council of Arles in 314 and the Council of Ariminum in 359. During the next several centuries, Christianity spread throughout much of England. However, when William of Normandy invaded England in the eleventh century and seized the crown, he also took control of the church. What had been a completely independent church was brought under the rule of Rome as William replaced all the 2 The substance of this paper was first delivered as a Haddington House lecture on March 18, 2003 in Moncton, New Brunswick. It begins with background material on the Reformation in England and gives a synopsis of William Tyndale‘s life before introducing the reader to David Daniell‘s seminal biography.

  • THE KING JAMES VERSION of the BIBLE Preface the Bible Is God's Inspired and Infallible Word – It Is God's Book
    THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE Preface The Bible is God's inspired and infallible Word – it is God's Book. God has given this Book to His people to teach them the Truth that they must believe and the godly life that they must live. Without the Holy Scriptures the believer has no standard of what is the Truth and what is the lie, what is righteous and what is wicked. It is, therefore, imperative that everyone takes great care that the Bible version that he uses, defends, and promotes in the world is a faithful translation of the Word of God. On this point, however, there is much confusion. There are many versions available today and they are all promoted as the best, the most accurate or the easiest to understand. All of them are justified by the supposed inferiority of the King James Version. The truth is quite different. The King James Version, although it is 400 years old, is still the best translation available today. It was translated by men who were both intellectually and spiritually qualified for the work The great version that they produced is faithful to the originals, accurate, incomparable in its style, and easily understood by all those who are serious about knowing God's Word. The King James Version of the Bible is the version to be used in our churches and in our homes. The Inception Of The New Version: A Puritan's Petition – Representatives of the Church of England were gathered together for a conference in January 1604.

  • The First of the First Authorised English Bibles
    The First of the First Authorised English Bibles By Ruth Magnusson Davis, B.A., LL.B., Founder of the New Matthew Bible Project Woodcut of the execution of William Tyndale, from John Foxe, Acts & Monuments of the Christian Church n the years 1536-1539, the battle for the Bible was finally won in England. The five soldiers in the front line of this battle were William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale, Bible I translators, their friend John Rogers, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, and, lastly, Lord Thomas Cromwell, who was then chief minister to King Henry VIII. God placed them all strategically in time, place, and office, so together they could work to bring vernacular Scriptures to the country. Between them, and with Henry’s hard won cooperation, these men took the field with three whole English Bibles: Coverdale’s of 1535, the 1537 Matthew Bible, and the 1539 Great Bible. Historians disagree about which of these Reformation Bibles may justly be called the first authorised English Bible. Some assert firmly that it was the Matthew Bible, 1 but others say only the Great Bible was ever truly authorised. 2 So which was it, and why the confusion? The Matthew Bible In 1537, the Matthew Bible arrived in England, probably from Antwerp where it is believed to have been printed. This Bible contained the combined translations of William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale. Tyndale’s translations comprised the New Testament and first half of the Old, being all he was able to complete before he was imprisoned in 1535. Coverdale supplied Scriptures for the balance of the Old Testament and Apocrypha, except three Apocryphal books that Rogers took from other sources.

  • Reformation History 4. the English Bibles by the Mid 1530S Efforts
    Reformation History 4. The English Bibles By the mid 1530s efforts were underway, led by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, to petition King Henry VIII for an English translation of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew. The first printing of a complete English Bible came shortly thereafter in 1535 and was the work of Miles Coverdale, who used the New Testament and partial Old Testament translations of William Tyndale. For the remaining parts of the Old Testament he made use of Luther’s Bible. The result was a mess, largely owing to Coverdale’s lack of knowledge of Greek or Hebrew, which left him dependent on these vernacular translations. Nevertheless, Coverdale’s Bible was intended for use in the study of the Word of God by providing chapter summaries, cross-references, and some annotations. Coverdale followed Luther and put the Apocrypha between the Old and New Testaments. Two years later in 1537 the so-called Matthew Bible appeared. It was named for one “Thomas Matthew” who was in fact an alias for the Protestant John Rogers, who assembled the Bible from the work of Tyndale and Coverdale. The use of Tyndale, a condemned heretic, was highly dangerous in Henry’s England. In addition, the Bible was clearly Protestant in character. For those reasons 1500 copies were printed abroad in Antwerp, which was insufficient to satisfy the growing demand in England for a vernacular Bible for the parish churches. Although in the following years numerous figures undertook translations of parts of scripture, the next major moment in the development of the English story was the Great Bible that appeared between 1539 and 1541.

  • William Tyndale
    This article is based on an extended video-recorded interview with Tyndale Biographer Professor David Daniell and is abridged and edited for this DVD. Childhood William Tyndale was born about 1494 in the county to the west of Britain called Gloucester, which is on the border of Wales; a wonderful rich county, very beautiful still. Through it runs a river, big by British standards, called the River Severn which flows to a port called Bristol from which ships went all over the world in Tyndale’s time. From an early age, Tyndale was privileged to attend a very fine and famous school at a nearby town where among other things he would learn very good Latin, the language of scholars throughout Europe and the language of the Church. From there he proceeded to the University of Oxford when he was about 12 years of age and there he remained for 10 years. Life at Oxford Life as an Oxford student would consist of listening to lectures and reading books. But unlike books today, the books Tyndale would have studied from would have been handwritten, as there weren’t many printed books in existence and they were very scarce and very private. The two most significant things about his time in Oxford were first, that he became passionately interested in the Scriptures. (Oddly enough the Scriptures were not studied there even though he was supposed to be doing theology.) And the second most significant occurrence was that while he was at Oxford the New Testament was printed in the original Greek for the first time by a wonderful European scholar named Erasmus.

  • Lesson 136 the Complete Geneva Bible: the Latter History
    1 Sunday, February 14, 2021— Grace Life School of Theology—From This Generation For Ever Lesson 136 The Complete Geneva Bible: The Latter History Introduction • Today, will be our ninth and final Lesson on the 1560 Geneva Bible. Over the preceding eight Lessons we have considered the following aspects this important Bible. o Production & Influence (Lesson 128) ▪ The impact of the Geneva Bible on both English Christians and the English Language cannot be overstated. Once it appeared in 1560, the Geneva Bible became the Bible of the common Englishman for the next century. o The Old Testament (Lessons 129, 130, & 131) ▪ So much time was spent on the Old Testament because the Geneva Bible marks the first time that the entire Old Testament had been translated out of Hebrew into English. Recall that William Tyndale had translated portions of the preserved Hebrew text into English before his martyrdom but was unable to complete the entire translation. Later translators, such as Coverdale, were not proficient in Hebrew and therefore relied on translations into other languages such as Latin and German. o The New Testament (Lesson 132) ▪ The New Testament text of the 1560 Geneva Bible was a slightly revised presentation of the text found in the 1557 Geneva New Testament. o Contents & Features (Lessons 133 & 134) ▪ Title Page ▪ Table of Contents ▪ Epistle Dedicatory to Queen Elizabeth ▪ Address to the Reader ▪ The Arguments & Chapter Summaries ▪ Illustrations & Maps ▪ Tables & Concordances Pastor Bryan Ross GRACELIFEBIBLECHURCH.COM 2 o Marginal Notes (Lesson 135) ▪ Here we looked at three categories of marginal notes: 1) Anti-Papal, 2) Calvinistic, and 3) Anti-Monarchical.
