The Most Important Bible Ever Printed?

The impact William Tyndale had on English Bibles cannot be overstated. He ultimately perished before he was able to complete the Old Testament, but his translation of the New Testament from the original Greek (for the first time in English) was a monumental task of its time. Its impact is still felt, and read, to this day. I am so glad to see this work preserved! You can order your own at the links below! Also check out Tiny Bibles other really cool bibles!

Yes, with certainty, in my own experience, Tyndale's NT is most enlightening and pure nearest the Source. I've read it over and over and continue to find Christ and grace on each page, even the prologues...thank you for exhibiting the finest translation that I know of!!! God bless His truth and grace to humble hearts (Ps.149:4).

[@michaelstanley4698]

AMEN! to "Please read your bibles!" Too many have a bible and hardly find time and grace to learn from Christ (Matt.11:29, Lu.2:30).

Thank you! Your videos are straightforward and presented with respective for the Bible’s you teach. ✝️

I have Tyndale's 1534 New Testament in a paper back edition. It was published by Yale University Press in 1989. It's a modern spelling edition with an introduction by David Daniell, with all the footnotes and translator's notes. I like the format because it's in single column paragraph form and very easy to read.

[@jamesyoung9763]

I don’t understand why some publisher hasn’t yet extended the facsimile to the page edge (with some astute feathering) so we can feel like we’re actually reading Tyndale’s bible (not a book full of photos on Tyndale’s bible).

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

It is strange, but I don’t mind it.

[@jamesyoung9763]

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews for sure, but I have never pulled the trigger on a Tyndale for this reason. Would love to see a full-colour version properly bled.

[@michaelstanley4698]

​@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Could you make a video on David Daniell's Modern-spelling edition of Tyndale's 1534 translation?? It is the very best for most people today, and is in paragraphs. William Tyndale was, I believe, God's apostle to the English-speaking world, sealing his prayer with his own blood, sweat and tears...for God's glory and Gospel.

[@LBCBrandon]

Such cool editions! I definitely need a Tyndale facsimile in my collection.

[@gilbertculloden87]

Good review of a truly great translation. I'm always glad to see Tyndale getting the attention he deserves since he really is the father of all English bibles (even the Catholic Rheims NT owes something to Tyndale, though the translators would never have admitted it). Probably my favorite edition of Tyndale is the 1536 facsimile from the Bible Museum. It's a bit pricy but it's a nice, full-sized edition and is printed rather than scanned (which I find a little distracting).

[@ilovecats9336]

I find these old bibles fascinating. I have a facsimile of the Whycliff bible, that middle English is challenging!

[@lonnieclemens8028]

This has been a very interesting video. I like that old bible with the pages reprinted.

[@cvd4508]

Great video. Tyndale is a Hero of the Faith!

[@bernardjohnson8093]

Wycliffe’s Bible is Middle English not Old English. Old English is the language spoken before the Norman Conquest. Old English is the language in which Beowulf was originally written.

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

Every tongue has a slip now and then.

[@michaelclark2458]

Yeah I am sure it was misspoken. But that does get on me nerves when people say the KJV is old English. I always tell them it is early modern English. Old English is like you say Beowulf. It isn't even Middle English like the Wycliffe. Middle English is still marginally readable to an English speaker, but Old English is not. The KJV/Shakespeare is largely still readable to the modern English speaker.

Hello, I just want to ask one question, Have you ever heard or read from Young's Literal Translation of the Bible? Its an old Bible translation almost 130 years ago that's so literal that it's almost difficult to read at times. I'm just curious because I don't see many people talk about that translation and am somewhat sad most bible publishers don't reprint it and it's mostly independent publishers reprinting it in small font.

[@repentnow1720]

(FYI) J P Green did a literal translation in the 1970s as well - I have the NT (i.e. - Volume 4) it's set up with 3 columns: Green | The Greek | KJV

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

It’s difficult to find a decent copy in print.

[@Rick-mni]

@ I guess I'll just have to wait and maybe a decent copy will eventually happen then.

[@jimyoung9262]

[Generic keyboard warrior correction of some insignificant detail you mentioned] 😉

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

Fire!

[@bartleby1807]

I always thought the Luther Bible from 1534 was the most important translation. Perhaps this is just my view being a German.

[@CamGaylor]

cool

[@Fact-fiend_1000ASMR.]

Tyndale walked, so the KJV could run. I wonder how KJO's view Tyndale, considering how much of the KJV NT was taken/based from his work? Also, what are your thoughts on the Radical Reformers like Hans Denck?

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

Never heard of him.

[@richardfelkins1209]

Tyndale was executed by King Henry VIII, not the Roman Catholic Church. King Henry declared himself Head of the English Church in 1534. Tyndale was arrested in 1535 and burned at the stake in 1536 near Brussels. Good video other than that though!

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

While it was secular authorities that were behind it (the king), the RCC had a massive role to play. They functionally executed him. Similar to the Jews functionally executing Jesus while using the Romans. I’m pretty comfortable with how I worded it. I mentioned it was a combination of things.

[@richardfelkins1209]

@ sir I just recommend you look at google and research some information on the topic before you give blame to the wrong group. With your logic though you could blame any event in modern history to connection to the RCC. Because one bishop was involved lol. Again who ordered the arrest and who was the execution under order by. So I ask again stop blaming the RCC and blame who was actually to blame please.

[@richardfelkins1209]

@ a single bishop played a role. That isn’t the whole RCC. Or a massive role at that. Because was it the Pope or King Henry VIII that ordered the arrest and execution? Yet you will not admit it lol.

[@richardfelkins1209]

@ you can word it however but who ordered the arrest and execution then?

[@richardfelkins1209]

@ regardless of how you word it a single involved bishop doesn’t mean the whole church. That’s about the most you’ll get from the role of the RCC. Again since you refuse to admit it I will state it again. He was ordered to be arrested and executed by King Henry VIII. Sure the Catholics didn’t stop it but doesn’t mean they played a role.

[@Franjipane-lh8ni]

Unfortunately, William Tyndale was a Protestant who believed "eat my flesh and drink my blood" (Jesus Christ) = "eat bread and drink wine" (Jesus Christ).

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

OK

[@Franjipane-lh8ni]

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Problem is that Protestants receive fake Holy Communio because of following 1500's Protestant Leaders. Who wants fake bread and wine Holy Communion? Who wants authentic Jesus Christ's living flesh and blood with His Soul and Divinity Holy Communion? There is only one Eucharist.

[@Franjipane-lh8ni]

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews The problem is that Protestant Ministers give out fake Holy Communion because they have not followed Jesus Christ's Eucharist instructions.

[@fnjesusfreak]

I've heard that the New Testament of the KJV was 83-90% Tyndale.

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

I said over half because I’ve heard the same but can’t fully verify.

[@fnjesusfreak]

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Over half is probably a fair assessment, even if you consider the OT, since what Rogers contributed for Judges through 2 Corinthians was almost certainly the work of Tyndale.

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

Some of it was. But the work wasn’t finished so he borrowed from Coverdale and a few other sources. Really really hard to say there. I was only factoring the New Testament for the purposes of this video.

[@HollywoodBigBoss]

I'll disagree with you on this one.

[@anickelsworthbiblereviews]

OK! Thanks for watching.
