So in Germany,William got to work translating the Bible
in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram (Genesis 1:1 in Latin)
We don't understand you!
I'm going to translate the Bible into English.
Meanwhile in Gloucestershire, England,in the 1500s, William Tyndale had an idea.
I wish I could read the Bible.
Which the Church of England didn't agree with.
William Tyndale wants to translate the Bible into English!
Tyndale's prayer was answered and 3 years later Henry VIII published the Holy Bible. Now thanks to Tyndale's work and sacrifice, people can read the Bible in English.
Only priests or the Pope are allowed to read the Bible, arrest this William Tyndale!
However, one of Tyndale's 'friends' betrayed him to the Church, and on the 6th October 1536 he was burned at the stake for heresy.
