William Tyndale believed that the Bible《圣经》should be able to be read by everyone. At that time Christianity(基督教) was the religion(宗教) of England but the Bible was only read and understood by priests(牧师) and religious people. It was written in several different ancient languages and there was no version(译本) in English. William Tyndale made it his life’s work to translate the Bible into easily readable English for the people of his time. William Tyndale was put in prison and died for his ideas but his work was later used in the Bible.
