Between Year 0 and the 20th Century there was only five to eight translations of the Holy Scriptures for the common people to read. After the turn of the 20th Century there was an explosion of "English-American" translations. today there is over 2,000 "different" English translations. This translations allegedly intended to make the Gospel easier to understand is causing more confusion than they are helping.
I am afraid no one can give you an exact number for the English translations and paraphrases of the Bible printed since Tyndale's New Testament of 1526. In part this is due to the difficulty of determining what should be defined as a new translation as opposed to a correction or a revision of an existing translation. There is the additional question of how we should count translations that include not a complete Bible or Testament, but just a group of books or even a single book. And then, of course, there is the difficulty of sheer numbers. With all these caveats in mind, the number of printed English translations and paraphrases of the Bible, whether complete or not, is about 1,900.
