I’m a lawyer, but I also have an M.A. in history. I’ve studied Tyndale extensively. The impact of his work cannot be denied. More than 80% of the text of the King James came straight from Tyndale’s translation and his translation was the major influence on the Geneva Bible, which was the Bible used by the American Puritans and the Pilgrims.

On another note, most of the more than 1,000 Scripture references found in Shakespeare derived from Tyndale’s work. “Without Tyndale, no Shakespeare” is a popular cliché among historians.

Dear friend, You wasted money being educated about tyndale and the error filled KJV -which is not the word of God in many cases

I don't even need to use Catholic sources to show this. You have the gay king James approving something ought to tell you things can't be trusted

Here is errors found by protestants http://www.angelfire.com/hi2/graphic1designer/errors.html

Never trust western education to tell the truth on anything historical.

Well it certainly doesn't show.

To state that Calvin is among the greatest liberators in human history shows an utter lack of knowledge of Calvin's police state in Geneva

and then the statement with both theological and political oppression. shows an utter lack of knowledge of the Calvinist Hohenzollerns who forced the Lutherans in Prussia to submit to Calvinist ways.

Any good M.A. in history would know that. Well, not an M.A. in Eskimo studies or "history of Mars chocolate"...

Wow, an MA in eskimo studies doesn't prepare one for any real debate, does it?

Tyndale's translation is from Erasmus' and from Luther's and from the Vulgate. So, buddy boy, you think that Erasmus is the father of the American Revolution? Or perhaps since a lot is from the Vulgate, St. Jerome is actually the father? Sheesh, MA in history indeed...
