This remarkable volume, “Tindale’s Triumph, John Rogers’ Monument: The Newe Testament of the Matthew’s Bible 1537 AD,” is a testament to the enduring legacy of the English Reformation and the quest for a vernacular Bible. It explores the pivotal role played by William Tyndale, the pioneering English translator of the Bible, and his collaborator, John Rogers, who published the Matthew’s Bible under the pseudonym “Thomas Matthew.”

Tyndale’s groundbreaking work, which drew from original Greek and Hebrew texts, paved the way for the widespread dissemination of the Scriptures in the English language, defying the ecclesiastical authorities of the time. His martyrdom in 1536 only fueled the desire for an English Bible, leading Rogers to compile and publish the Matthew’s Bible a year later, incorporating Tyndale’s translations and other sources.

This volume offers a rich historical and literary context, delving into the tumultuous era of the Reformation, the struggles faced by early translators, and the profound impact of their work on the English language and culture. It is a invaluable resource for scholars, collectors, and anyone interested in the history of the English Bible and the enduring power of the written word.
