William Hutchins was a pseudonym used by William Tyndale, the man who translated the New Testament for the first time into English from the original texts. He used the name William Hutchins to prevent authorities from tracing the book back to him and his printer.
The furor this book caused, the outrage over giving sacred Scriptures to common men and women, launched the Reformation and birthed modern women’s literacy. For his work, William Tyndale was strangled and then burned at the stake.
Today the average American family owns four Bibles and has read none of them.
