His translation of the Bible (incomplete) is the first English version directly translated from Greek and Hebrew. The wording in the King James Bible (published in 16 1 1) is largely based on his translation of the Bible. The prose language in the D-style Bible is easy to understand and has a strong sense of rhythm. Because the King James Bible is the standard version used by English Protestants for a long time, this prose style has greatly influenced the style of English literature.

Tyndale was born in Gloucestershire, England. He studied at Oxford University and Cambridge University, where he became a priest. About 1522, he began to translate the New Testament from Greek into English. However, his work was opposed by British church officials, who believed that only clergy could read the Bible. 1524, Tyndale left England for Germany, where he was educated by Martin Luther and continued to translate the Bible.

1525, Tyndale, despite the obstruction of Roman Catholicism, published the Complete Works of the New Testament in Vorms. Later, the first five volumes of the Old Testament (1530) and the English version of Jonah (153 1) were published. In addition, Tyndale also wrote some books in support of Protestantism. 1535, he was arrested and imprisoned by the agent of the Holy Roman Empire on charges of heresy, and was finally hanged and burned at the stake. In 2002, Tyndale was selected as the greatest Englishman by the BBC.
