Explore the extraordinary influence of William Tyndale on the development of the English language in this fascinating study William Tyndale and the English Language by celebrated linguist David Crystal.

From familiar phrases such as ‘the powers that be’ and ‘for ever and ever’ to the shaping of modern written English itself, Tyndale’s pioneering Bible translations left a lasting mark on language, literature and faith. In this insightful volume, Crystal examines Tyndale’s distinctive prose style, his role in introducing new words and expressions into English, and the enduring impact of his translations on later biblical texts, including the King James Bible.

Combining literary scholarship, linguistic analysis and historical context, this beautifully produced hardback offers a fresh perspective on one of the most influential figures in English religious and cultural history. An essential read for anyone interested in language, theology, the English Bible and the Reformation.
