Alister E. McGrath Quote
In his Bible translations, Tyndale coined such phrases as: the powers that be (Romans 13); my brother's keeper (Genesis 4); the salt of the earth (Matthew 5); and a law unto themselves (Romans 2). These phrases continue to be used, even in modern English, precisely because they are so well shaped in terms of their alliteration, rhyme, and word repetitions. Tyndale also introduced or revived many words that are still in use. He constructed the term Jehovah from the Hebrew construction known as the tetragrammaton in the Old Testament. He invented the English word Passover to refer to the Jewish festival known in Hebrew as Pesah.
