Question

Henry VIII commissioned a translation of the Bible into English True False

Answer 1

The correct answer is "true". After the demise of the Tyndale New Testament, Henry VIII, the then still Catholic King of England had promised in 1530 that a new official English Bible would be prepared in accordance to Catholic doctrine. In 1534 he severed all ties with the Roman Catholic Church and the project of an official English Bible was to create a more Protestant version of it which would not be done until 1568 with the Bishops' Bible.
