EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1877 depicts William Tyndale, the English translator of the Bible, who played a crucial role in bringing the Scriptures to the common people. In this image, copies of Tyndale's vernacular Bible are shown being brought into England, cleverly concealed within bales of various goods.
Tyndale's translation of the Bible into English was groundbreaking at a time when access to religious texts was limited to clergy and scholars. By making the Word of God accessible to ordinary individuals, Tyndale sparked a revolution in religious thought and practice.
The clandestine nature of distributing Tyndale's Bibles is highlighted in this print, as they were smuggled into England hidden among everyday items. Despite facing persecution for his work, Tyndale remained steadfast in his mission to make the Bible available in the language of the people.
This image serves as a powerful reminder of Tyndale's enduring legacy and his commitment to spreading knowledge and faith through translation. It captures a pivotal moment in history when printed words had the power to transform lives and shape beliefs.
