Description
The King James Bible is not merely another translation. Its history is one of the most fascinating chapters of church history and reads almost like a novel. This book traces this glorious heritage, beginning with the Wycliffe Bible (1380), the Tyndale New Testament (1526), the Coverdale Bible (1535), the Matthew's Bible (1537), the Great Bible (1539), the Geneva Bible, the Bishops Bible (1568), and the King James Bible (1611). Under the section on the KJV we look at the spiritual, literary, and scholary climate of that day, the amazing translation process itself, the peerless translators, the nature of the translation, Tyndale's influence, and the KJV's worldwide influence.
The author has studied this history diligently. He has a massive private library of materials on this subject back to the 16th century and has researched the subject in many parts of the world, including England, Wales, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
