Holy Bible Tyndale Bible 1536 Paperback – February 14, 2021

As a reader of the Bible, it is good to have a copy of the many versions. This one is, in my opinion, one of the best. Good for students.

Perfect companion for attempting to read a Tyndale 1536 facsimile. Eliminates that cumbersome "gothic" font and allows you to focus more on "translating" the old english. I highly recommend a dive into Tyndales life, martyrdom and reasons for his translation before reading this bible.

Even though it is in old English and not really readable, Tyndall is my family tree. I traced the family connection in the front of the Bible so that my nieces and nephews could have it for years to come and know how inspirational his life and accomplished were.

Great for my studies

Book contains Tyndale's translation of all the books of the New Testament from the Greek and the first five books of the Old Testament plus Jonah translated from the Hebrew contained in the original 1536 publication. The text while small is very clear and readable. The book is a very nice printing of the material it includes.However, the text is the original 16th English spelling which can be difficult to read. Most importantly, the book is missing: (1) Tyndale's introductions to the Old and New Testaments; (2) Prologues to each book of the Bible; and (3) his line notes. All this material except line notes in available in other books entitled "The Complete Works of William Tyndale" from The Parker Society (1840).The only editions of Tyndale's complete 1536 Old and New Testaments in modern English are those edited by the late Prof. David Daniell and published by Yale Press. The hardback editions of each book are out of print and used copies can be quite expensive - especially the Old Testament. Only Tyndale's complete 1536 New Testament - in modern English - is currently available in paperback.

Naysayers are wrong, this bible isn’t hard to read or understand. The print isn’t too small. All the bad reviews I read were completely wrong. Glad I ordered this Bible.

It wasn't what I expected but it arrived on time.

As William Tyndale was executed for heresy before he could his translation from the ancient Greek and Hebrew texts, I was curious to know why this translation had so much impact on the King James Bible so many believe is the only true Word of God. Great reference book written a few years before KJV Bible came into existence.
