Bible Question:
In what year was the Bible translated into English? On a separate note, when was the book of revelations written and when was the decision to put it into the Bible noted? Thanks Kindly, Mike |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mike! The first English translations of the bible were done by John Wycliffe about 1380 a.d. They were handwritten translations of the Latin Vulgate. The first printed English New Testament was done by William Tyndale in 1525 a.d.. He translated directly from the Greek. Myles Coverdale finished the work that Tyndale had begun and published the first complete English Bible in 1535. Revelation was in dispute by some in the early church, but by the time the canon was finalized in the mid 300's, it was included. The dating of the book can range anywhere from 68 to 100 a.d. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
