Oh, and to correct your inaccuracies (apparently derived from your use of a badly outdated historical text), the most common full recension of the Wycliffe Bible dates from 1388, the Tyndale Bible was completed in 1525 and first published in 1526 as a New Testament edition, the Tyndale/Coverdale edition of both Testaments dates to 1535.

And of course, there are English translations of individual books of the Bible dating back to the 800s.

Oh you are rich. Ok first of all, since when does HISTORY become outdated? YOu must be one of those revisionist clowns. A history scholar alive today is more credible than a history scholar born in the 1800s, right? WHatever.

Second, anything before about AD1100 or so is not english. It’s old saxon, or anglo-saxon, or whatever you choose to call it.

And finally, I find it interesting that the dates you choose to quote are “the most common recension” for the wyclif, and “the first published(new testament only)” for the tyndale.

Now, I ask you and everyone else on this thread, who’s the half-truth-telling sneaky one? Me or you?

I know who I think it is.
