Summary: Daniell's Tyndale
Comment: This 429 page (+ xxxv) hardcover volume is a nice appearing work. It contains an up-to-date "translation" of William Tyndale's 1534 New Testament. No mention on the quality of paper used. The type is clear and well printed.

David Daniell is well qualified for this effort. He does a masterful job, and the book is a great value in the paperback edition, but the hardcover is priced much too high. It is poorly bound, using glue injection, the pages will not lay open! As the glue hardens in the future, you can expect pages to fall out.

I am very glad I bought the book, Tyndale's work is worthy of study, and shows great respect for God's Word. Tyndale himself suffered greatly to get the Word into the hands of all English speakers... Surely the work would be more popular if it could be freely quoted.

For your money, buy the paperback edition...

Summary: A must have New Testament
Comment: Anyone interested in the history of the English Bible and Bible translation should own a copy of this historic masterpiece of Bible translation. Tyndall was the first to translate the New Testament into English from the Greek and it cost him his life.

This historic New Testament is available at what amounts to a bargin price. The type is easy to read. Anyone woried about reading older English forms should not hesitate to purchase this volume. I believe what makes older English harder to read is the older spelling and type. With Mr. Daniell's updating of the spelling, I believe Tyndall's New Testament is more readable than the King James Version (KJV). Additionally, Tyndall's wording seems simplier than the KJV and is in more in keeping with modern translations. For example, the word "love" is used in 1 Corinthians 13 instead of the KJV's "charity".

I would like to own an original printing of Tyndall's New Testament, but I'm sure I can not afford it. With the publication of this volume, I got a more readable and much more affordable copy.

Summary: Who knew? I sure didnt'.
Comment: Until I read this book, I had no idea that the KJV Bible was largely a plagiarism of Tyndale's work. The introductory chapter of this book gives some background on what Tyndale endured so that the Bible could be made as readily available "to the man who pushes the plow" as it was to the church hierarchy.

Tyndale's interpretation (where the two works differ) is stronger and more forceful.

Tyndale's last words (before he was strangled and burned at the stake for heresy) were "Lord God, open the King of England's eyes."

Look like his prayers (and life's work) had an enormous impact on all the world.

This book is a valuable treasure and a foundational item for every Christian's library.

And in my own life, the information and background and history offered in this book opened my eyes to the price our fellow Christians paid so that we could all have a Bible in our homes.
