So what was the real reason William Tyndale was condemned? Was translating the Bible into English actually illegal? The answer is no. The law that was passed in 1408 was in reaction to another infamous translator, John Wycliff. Wycliff had produced a translation of the Bible that was corrupt and full of heresy. It was not an accurate rendering of sacred Scripture.Tyndale was burned at the stake for translating Ekklesia as congregation and not as "church",
thus undercutting the corporate authority of both the "church" of Rome and the "church" of England.

Thanks for the information. I'm not as well studied on Tyndale as I should be. A little bit of research also showed that he changed "charity" to "love". I wonder why that was?
