Answer
Tyndale lived in the 16th century, not the 15th. A renowned English scholar, he made significant contributions to the Protestant Reformation of England. Most notably, he translated the Bible into English from Greek and Hebrew texts, providing common people access to the sacred text. Tyndale faced persecution for his work, as his version differed from the established Catholic version, but his efforts paved the way for later English Bible translations.
