whole Bible into English was made
more than a hundred years before
Luther's day by John Nyciffe.
This early translation was Il great
event in the history of England
because it was the beginning of
long line of splendid biblical work,
which was to result in giving the
Bible to the English people in
ever more and more perfect form.
From Nycliffe we pass on to Will
liam Tyndale, born in the year
.1484. During the hundred years
intervening between the two men,
wonderful things happened in
Europe. The intellectual world
suffered such an upheaval as was
never known. Everywhere men be-
gan to think and inquire. The
printing press had been invented
and was being put to use every
where. For the multiplication of
copies of the Scriptures, Tyndale
in England, took up Nycliffe's BIZ
BILE work, where the latter had laid
it down; but he did so with the
gnaat advantage of the use of the
printing press. He saw, too, that
! the time had come when a better
version of the Bible was needed
| than that of Nyecliffe.
Lacking In Translation.
| Nycliffes was a translation from
the Latin Vulgate; but there ought
to be one made directly from the
original Greek and Hebrew. Such
an improved translation Tyndale
determined to make. Being a
highly accomplished classica
scholar, and at the same time be-
ing master of a singularly concise
graphic and picturesque English
style. he was remarkably well fit
ted for his task. Our new Tesla
l ment today is scarcely more than
revision of that of Tyndale.
