The English Translation by Joseph Rutter and John Pierce is an important work in the history of English literature. It was the first complete translation of the Bible into English, and it had a profound influence on the development of the English language.

Background

Prior to the English Translation, the only available Bibles in England were in Latin. This made it difficult for the vast majority of people to read and understand the Bible. In the early 16th century, the Protestant Reformation led to a renewed interest in the Bible, and there was a growing demand for an English translation.

Joseph Rutter and John Pierce were two English scholars who were commissioned to translate the Bible into English. Rutter was a Protestant minister, and Pierce was a Catholic priest. They began their work in 1534, and they completed the translation in 1539.

Impact
