Description
Pastor John Rogers assembled in 1537 a volume that contained, for the first time as part of a complete Bible, all of William Tyndales translation work, the 1534 New Testament, the Pentateuch, and the nine historical books, ending with 2 Chronicles. Where there were gaps in Tyndales work, Rogers used that of Miles Coverdale (1535).
Archbishop Thomas Cranmer saw to it that the Matthews Bible was shown to King Henry VIII, who then licensed the complete Bible in English. Thomas Cromwell, Henrys Viceregent for church affairs, subsequently encouraged bishops to order copies of the Matthews Bible for their churches. Such official sanction sparked tremendous demand for the book.
