My absolute favorite types of Bibles are old English Bibles from 1526-1611. I have many early English facsimile Bibles from those years such as: 1526 Tyndale New Testament, 1537 Matthews Bible, 1539 Taverner Bible, 1560 Geneva Bible & 1611 King James Bible but this 1534 Tyndale New Testament is by far the most challenging to read out of all the Bibles I own.

All these Bibles I mentioned the font is printed where the letter "S" looks like an incomplete F (no crossbar), so I was used to that at the time of receiving my 1534 Tyndale. But what I was not used to was the letter "L" looked nearly identical to the S & F. The only difference is if the top curls around an touches the upright line it's an L. Again, none of my other Bibles have the letter L like this and that is what I found most challenging reading through the 1534 Tyndale New Testament. But remember, if it doesn't challenge you, it wont change you.

Giving my honest review after having read through the whole Tyndale 1534 New Testament From Matthew to Revelation and I had a blast reading it & comparing it to the King James as I went through it. Enjoyed reading through the 1534 Tyndale so much that I immediately began to read my 1526 Tyndale from Matthew to Revelation right after completing the 1534 (got a few more books to go on the 1526).

Much thanks to Felix for opening his personal library and allowing copies to be made of his original 1534 Tyndale New Testament. I posted a video review on youtube and Felix left a bunch of comments on my video. Very cool.

I would highly recommend this 1534 Tyndale New Testament but only after you have been reading in the old english font for a while and being somewhat fluent in it, otherwise reading this 1534 Tyndale they would most likely want to give up out of frustration not being able to make out the words if this was the first time with olde English. Again the 1534 Tyndale is the most challenging early English Bible facsimile I own to actually read through so I would NOT recommend the 1534 Tyndale as your 1st old English facsimile.

p.s. the font for the prologues of the books is even MORE CHALLENGING to read as they seem to be a bit smaller. This Bible is only for those with good eyesight and patience.
