Description
The King James Bible: A Translation in Context In 1611, a team of translators worked tirelessly to produce a version of the Bible that would endure for centuries. What motivated these men? To understand their motivations, look beyond the turbulent religious history of the era and explore the prefaces published with each new edition. This collection brings together the key texts from between 1525 and 1611, providing insight into the spiritual concerns of the translators. The introductory chapter sets the stage for this historical and theological journey, while notes throughout highlight the sources of quotations and allusions. For readers interested in understanding the ancestry of a beloved translation, this book offers a unique perspective on the King James Bible's development. Gerald Bray is Director of Research for Latimer Trust, bringing his expertise to this collection.
