(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.
I believe he said Bradford was executed by the Catholic church and not Tyndale.
“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.”
False. Tyndale was found guilty of heresy by the Catholic Church, which was convenient because the penalty for heresy was death. The civil authorities killed Tyndale by strangling, then burning, by the decision of the Catholic Church.
Tyndale fled England because it was more dangerous to translate there than in Europe, since in 1408, the Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury had made it illegal to translate into the vernacular without permission. And until Thomas More fell from favor, it was deadly to be a Protestant in England - “Saint” Thomas More pursued ‘heretics’ and had them tortured and killed at an unprecedented rate.
However, with his fall from favor, King Henry VIII was not inclined to kill Tyndale. In fact, in August of 1535, Cromwell was given permission to write letters asking for clemency for Tyndale by the King’s authority. The appeal was turned down.
Sorry, but the responsibility for Tyndale’s death lies as the feet of the Catholic Church.
