The New Testament: Tyndale Bible, 1526 New Testament - Original Spelling Edition

Product Information

Furthermore, many phrases that we use today came from his pen, including “The spirit is willing”, “Eat, drink and be merry” and “Fight the good fight”. And what a text it is: probably the most influential in English, since the 1611 King James New Testament (ubiquitous until fairly recently) is essentially a revision of it. You might want to consider as you read it that the text caused Tinsdale to be burned at the stake after being slowly strangled while tied there before the fire was klit. The Filament Bible Collection is perhaps the most significant innovation in Bible publishing since Gutenberg’s moveable type.

Tyndale was passionate that people should be able to read the Bible for themselves and in their own language rather than rely on a minister to interpret it for them. Even faster was the reprinting effort of "unauthorised" printers who soon had more than 30,000 copies circulating. This assortment of beautiful, readable Bibles comes with the Filament App, giving you online access to study notes, devotionals, maps, videos, and music curated for the page you’re reading.Tyndale’s Bible was taken to be a direct challenge to the hegemony of the Roman Catholic church and English laws to maintain the church’s position. Within a year of his death, Tyndale’s dying hope was answered: Henry VIII authorised what became known as the Matthew Bible, based on Tyndale’s work.

And in the 17th century when almost 50 scholars and translators worked to produce the Authorised or King James Version of the Bible, they again drew heavily on Tyndale’s version.

Having said that it is thrilling to hold in my hand the first edition since 1526, it gives a deep sense of history. It was the first Bible of its kind—with beautiful line-art illustrations spread throughout the Bible.

William Tyndale was born in Gloucestershire in around 1494 and educated at Oxford University and then Cambridge University. Henrickson has published the facsimile but this is difficult to read beacuse of the black letter font. But translation in England was vigorously prohibited, so he effected his translation in Europe, and printed the book underground, managing (just) to keep one step in front of the authorities. This innovative expansion of reading Bibles features the first and only technological tool of its kind in the market. As the leaves change and the pace of life quickens, it’s essential to find moments of serenity to nourish your soul.This "Original Spelling" edition provides a transcription using Roman font which preserves the original book size, spelling and grammar, without verse numbers (as original). Beholde, there cam wyse men from the est to Jerusalem saynge: where is he that is borne kynge of the Jues? The word "ask" is consistently spelled "axe"; "U"s and "V"s are usedinterchangeably, Jesus is spelled at least four different ways, etc. The New Living Translation (NLT) is so valuable because having a Bible that you can read and understand helps you to see the deep meaning of the words, touching your heart, helping you to know and love Jesus, and to grasp God’s plan for your life and for all time. It presents his 1534 revision of the New Testament, incorporating his prefaces and notes; and it includes the variants from his original 1525 edition, with an introduction by Isaac Foot that describes both the huge religious and cultural impact of this text and the importance of the revisions Tyndale made to his own works.

Thousands of notes on topics just for men, including courage, temptation, image, leadership, and pride. In one, he infuriated King Henry VIII by criticising the monarch’s plan to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. Tyndale was inspired by the academic atmosphere to challenge the thinking of the Roman Catholic church and explore the Protestant ideas of Martin Luther and others. This is the text we have in our hands, smuggled unbound into England and passing from hand to hand like wildfire. Though only three copies of his original translation exist, so good was his translation that more than 80 per cent (some say 90 per cent) of the King James version is derived from Tyndale’s translation.Published in this edition are two excellent articles explaining the significance of this little book.
