William Tyndale (c. 1494-1536) gave the English people their first printed New Testament, which he translated from the original Greek, and half of the Old Testament, which he translated from the original Hebrew. His clear and memorable language spoke directly to the heart, and his impact has been felt on all subsequent translations.
Since the quincentenary of his birth in 1994, popular and scholarly understanding of the importance of Tyndale's life and writings has grown. This Selected Writings makes available selections from the New Testament (1534) and the Old (1530 and 1537); the full text of his seminal A Pathway to the Holy Scripture (c. 1530) and extracts from The Parable of the Wicked Mammon (1528); The Obedience of a Christian Man (1528); The Practice of Prelates (1531); and his powerfully theological An Answer unto Sir Thomas More's Dialogue (1531). Extracts from his Expositions show Tyndale as the leading Biblical theologian of his time.
David Daniell is the editor of Tyndale's writings and the author of, most recently, The Bible in English and William Tyndale:
A Biography.
