Abstract
William Tyndale published his first translation of the New Testament in 1526. The English government reacted aggressively to the volume: banning it, preaching against it, and even burning confiscated copies. The leading figures in the fight against heresy, Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas More, Bishop Cuthbert Tunstal, and Bishop John Fisher, rejected Tyndale’s New Testament, not because of textual error, as some scholars have claimed, but because the translation was filled with a highly contagious malice. The textual errors in Tyndale’s New Testament were perceived as the tokens of Tyndale’s malice and were identified to demonstrate the severity and infectiousness of his malevolence.
