  4. William Tyndale • c. 1494 – 1536, born in Dursley, Gloucestershire • English Protestant Reformer, scholar, and priest. • Educated at Oxford and possibly studied under Erasmus. • Gifted linguist: fluent in French, Greek, Hebrew, German, Italian, Latin, Spanish, in addition to his native English. • Tyndale's translation was the first English translation to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts. • Also, the first to take advantage of the new medium of print, which allowed for its wide distribution. • In 1535 Tyndale was arrested, jailed in a castle outside of Brussels for over a year, tried for heresy and burnt at the stake.

  5. Tyndale’s Legacy • In translating the Bible, Tyndale introduced new words into the English Language, and many were subsequently used in the King James Bible: • Jehovah • Passover (as the name for the Jewish holiday, Pesach or Pesah) • Atonement • Scapegoat • He also coined such familiar phrases as: • let there be light • the powers that be • my brother's keeper • the salt of the earth • a law unto themselves • it came to pass • gave up the ghost • the signs of the times • the spirit is willing • fight the good fight

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. {Love never ends (fails). But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.}” -The New Oxford Annotated Bible, 3rd ed.
