A Catholic named Gutenberg did far more than Tyndale ever could imagine to get the bible into the hands of the everyman. Tyndale wasn’t hired to spread the bible; he was hired to find a theological basis for England backing out of its dependance on Rome. Whereas King John’s efforts to deliver England to the Muslims to get out from under Rome backfired (the Muslims wouldn’t have him), Tyndale figured England could be “Christian” without being part of the Catholic church.
Careful. They’ll burn you at the stake in here.
