William Tyndale famously declared, 'The boy that driveth the plough
shall know more of the scripture than [an educated man].' Though
forbidden by the Church to translate the New Testament into
English, Tyndale's determination resulted in its finally being
printed in Germany in 1526. Smuggled into English ports in bales of
cloth, the book was a monumental success. The direct, common
language of many of its verses has resonated down the centuries
and, in time, contributed significantly to the text of the King
James Version. This complete, carefully reproduced facsimile
edition, created from one of only two complete copies of the 1526
edition held in the British Library, presents one of the most
important books in English history in full colour and to the exact
original specifications. Professor David Daniel, former Chairman of
the Tyndale Society and Tyndale biographer, has provided a detailed
introduction.
In this book William Tyndale, one of the most renowned religious
scholars of the Reformation, writes his explanations of
justification by faith. The Parable of the Wicked Mammon is the
very first work which carries William Tyndale's name. Selecting
chapter sixteen from the Book of Luke as a basis, Tyndale explains
crucial differences between emerging Protestant beliefs and the
established Catholic system. By choosing this passage, Tyndale is
able to explain justification and the fruits of it, thereby
highlighting a central motivation behind the ensuing Reformation.
Notably, this work sees the author acknowledge for the first time
his new translation of the Biblical New Testament. Writing in part
to blunt the blame levied upon the Protestant cause as being behind
outbreaks of violence in Europe, Tyndale sought to frame his
arguments in religious terms. By admitting his translation of the
Bible, Tyndale reveals that he is opposed to keeping the scripture
out of the hands of the common people.
The First English Version of the Bible ever printed, this
epoch-making work by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale is
presented for the first time complete in one volume in Modern
Spelling. The TC translation is the foundation and true source of
the celebrated King James Version. But where the KJV freely
modifies the text, so that God's Word might better conform to
"ecclesiastical traditions," the TC presents the Scriptures as they
were delivered: without modification, ammendment, or compromise.
This deluxe printed edition of the "MSTC" is illuminated with over
150 engravings and extensive helps, including Biographical Notes
and Essays, Holy Land Maps, and a Concise Concordance.
