Abstract
William Tyndale (1494?–1536), Bible translator, polemicist, and martyr, was the first man to translate and publish the New Testament from the original Greek and most of the books of the Old Testament from Hebrew. Though Tyndale was not a systematic theologian, his biblical commentaries The Exposition of the First Epistle of Saint John (1531) and An Exposition upon the v. vi. vii. Chapter of Matthew (1528) are permeated with both implicit and explicit theological assumptions. Like Luther, Tyndale also rejected allegory and elevated the literal sense of Scripture in his interpretive approach. Nevertheless, Tyndale’s literal sense proved complex, preserving the typological or figural sense of Scripture at the same time. His original notion concerning the “process of the text” anticipated modern insights concerning the text and meaning.
