William Tyndale was a 16th century Protestant reformer and scholar who translated the Bible into English. He published the first complete New Testament in English in 1526. Tyndale's translation was the first English Bible to draw directly from Hebrew and Greek texts and the first to be mass produced using the printing press. Tyndale was condemned by the Catholic Church and executed for heresy in 1536 for his Bible translations, which influenced over 60% of the King James Bible.
