Cool post, but the Geneva Bible changed the world. That was the one William Bradford was strangled and burned by the Catholic Church for translating. It was also the one that the Pilgrims brought to the New World. King James saw the writing on the wall so to speak. The Gospel could no longer be hid.
Haha Bradford! Tyndale! Although Bradford had one!
(1) The translators of the Geneva Bible were William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale.
(2) William Bradford probably owned several, but that's about as much as he had to do with the translation.He also died of natural causes.
(3) Myles Coverdale also died of natural causes. William Tyndale was executed, not by the Catholic Church, but by the city fathers of Antwerp at the behest of the Protestant King of England, Henry VIII.
Tyndale was living in Belgium in the first place to avoid him.
