William Tyndale: This year marks 500 years since William Tyndale's English New Testament first appeared in print. He was executed for this work in 1536, but the words survived. Five centuries on, they are still in your Bible. Phrases such as "let there be light," "the powers that be," and "salt of the earth" came from his pen. Every English translation since, from the King James to the NIV, stands on his shoulders.
