History sometimes fails to recognize the brilliance of a true pioneer, glorifying those who profit from his innovation while conveniently forgetting the source.
William Tyndale (1494?-1536), who first translated the Bible into English from the original Greek and Hebrew text, is one such forgotten pioneer.
As David Daniell, the author of the latest biography of Tyndale, writes, "William Tyndale gave us our English Bible" and "he made a language for England."
