# Matthew's Bible-OE-1537 - Hardcover

by **Hendrickson Publishers** (Created by)

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