Description
A user-friendly annotated selection of key passages from the King James's Bible clarifies the key themes, characters, stories and genealogies for students. This revised edition offers timelines, a bibliography, and a detailed index for quick and easy reference. The original 1984 version was written as a response to difficulties with biblical references in literature, providing a selection of passages that give students an overview of the book's contents, including its history and the strands of imagery that bind it together. This edition offers a brief history of the different versions of the Bible and provides context for the stories within. By reading this annotated selection, you'll gain a better understanding of the richness of English literature and the cultural significance of the King James's Bible.
