Five hundred years of the New Testament in English: The Testimony of William Tyndale

How did we get the New Testament in English? The person responsible for the translation of the Bible into English was William Tyndale.  His New Testament was first published in 1526, five hundred years ago. In this podcast, we ask Dr. Tony Watkins about Tyndale's role in translating the Bible into English. Dr. Watkins is the Fellow for Public Engagement at Tyndale House in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Within this interview, he shares Tyndale's motivation for translating out of Greek into English and the ways that this translation has changed our understanding of the Bible and the English language.For more on William Tyndale, see the following podcasts from Tyndale House in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Episode 1: The Long Road to the English Bible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raYxCn5LE8UEpisode 2: A Turning Point in English History. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVPjnnV84CEEpisode 3: Open the Eyes of the King of England. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ymGJYWbI2gEpisode 4: An Enduring Legacy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebzecQlSIZQ#NewTestamentinEnglish  #WilliamTyndale #BibletranslationCentrally Speaking is a ministry of Central Schwenkfelder Church in Lansdale, PA  USA.
