Where there were gaps in Tyndale's work, Rogers used that of Miles Coverdale (1535).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArchbishop Thomas Cranmer saw to it that the \u003ci\u003eMatthew's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eMatthew's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e for their churches. Such official sanction sparked tremendous demand for the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacsimile of an excellent copy of the 1537 \u003ci\u003eMatthew's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, legible type throughout (marginal commentary is in smaller type)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthoritative new preface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis resource is great for Bible collectors and anyone interested in the history of the English Bible!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hendrickson Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1598563491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781598563498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hendrickson Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.40w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBible Version:\u003c\/b\u003e Other English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Multi-Colored\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Cloth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBible Portion:\u003c\/b\u003e Complete Without Apocrypha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBible Type:\u003c\/b\u003e General Use","brand":"Hendrickson Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052436549887,"sku":"9781598563498","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f42aeda8-73f5-4b87-a5a3-a6cf8123fc30.jpg?v=1685018781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matthews-bible-oe-1537-hendrickson-publishers-9781598563498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
