Miles Coverdale (1488-1568)

Miles Coverdale and John "Thomas Matthew" Rogers were loyal partners for the last six years of William Tyndale's life as they carried the English Bible project forward. Coverdale finished translating the Old Testament in 1535. He printed the first complete Bible in the English language. Coverdale had studied at Cambridge, receiving a bachelor's degree in Canon Law in 1531. Coverdale and many other men have helped Christians very much. Many people take advantage of that. We would not have been able to get closer to God or go to Heaven if it weren't for the Bible being translated into English.
