I just read through this "brief" history of the English Bible! It begins with John Wycliffe in the 1300s and makes its way to our present day Bible. Very very very fascinating. It took me a little while to read (maybe 30 minutes?) But it was well worth the read.
"William Tyndale fought and died for the right to print the Bible in the common, spoken, modern English tongue of his day… as he boldly told one official who criticized his efforts, “If God spare my life, I will see to it that the boy who drives the plowshare knows more of the scripture than you, Sir!”"
