William Tyndale was an influential English biblical scholar and linguist known for translating most of the Bible into English. His translation, which utilized Hebrew and Greek texts, was the first to use Jehovah as God’s name, challenging the authority of the Catholic Church. Tyndale’s work played a key role in the English Reformation and helped spread Reformation ideas throughout the English-speaking world. His translations were later incorporated into subsequent English editions, including the King James Version, with a significant portion of the text stemming from his original work.
