It owed most, especially in the New Testament, to Tyndale". [[George Steiner]] in his book on translation ''[[After Babel]]'' refers to "the influence of the genius of Tyndale, the greatest of English Bible translators."{{sfn|Steiner|1998|p=366}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
