Download or read book A Short History of the English Bible written by James Freeman and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thumbnail sketch or overview of how we got our English Bible. Here, the author takes us into the lives, sacrifices, and even martyrdom of those who brought the Word of God to English-speakers: John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Myles Coverdale, John Rogers, Thomas Cranmer, and others. Also presented are interesting vignettes of English Bibles, or parts of Bibles, which have become more or less famous because of certain peculiarities either in the translation or in typographical errors. For instances, there was THE BUG BIBLE. This is Matthew's Bible, 1551, and is so called because of the rendering of Psalm xci, 5. Instead of, "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night," as in our version, it has, "So that thou shalt not need to be afraid for any Bugges by night." Dore suggests that "probably the word means bogies or boggarts, and not the objectionable little insect which is a terror to most people." A bogie or a boggart is a shape-shifting creature that will assume the form of whatever most frightens the person who encounters it. Boggart is one of numerous related terms used in English folklore for either a household spirit or a malevolent genius loci inhabiting fields, marshes or other topographical features. Coverdale and Taverner have the same rendering. The word bug once signified something frightful, the same as bugbear. THE ROSIN BIBLE. The Douay Version, 1610, has, in Jer. viii, 22, "Is there no rosin in Gilead?" Cotton Mather tells of a Bible printed before 1702 in which David is made to say in Psalm cxix, 161, "Printers have persecuted me without a cause." (It should have been "princes.") Probably every modern writer can affirm the truth of this.
Download or read book History of the Bible in English written by Frederick Fyvie Bruce and published by James Clarke & Co.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible in the English language is among the great achievements of all time, not only as a masterpiece of inspired writing but as a witness to the place of the Scriptures in the life of the English-speaking peoples, and Bruce's work, recognised for 30 years as the best on its subject, documents its history and shows the impact of some of the translations on the use and development of the English language. Formerly The English Bible, this comprehensive study of the various English translationsof the Bible is again available in paperback. The author traces the story from the earliest partial translations in Saxon times, through Wycliffe, Tyndale and The King James Version, to the publication of such contemporary versions as The New English Bible, The New American Standard Version, The Living Bible, and The Good News Bible. Authoritative and highly readable, this remains one of the standard works on its subject.

Download or read book Wide As the Waters written by Benson Bobrick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gripping and accessible work of history, religion, and literary criticism chronicles the first English translation of the King James version of the bible—through the tumultuous reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I, a time of fierce contest between Catholics and Protestants in England—which took centuries to complete. Next to the Bible itself, the English Bible was -- and is -- the most influential book ever published. The most famous of all English Bibles, the King James Version, was the culmination of centuries of work by various translators, from John Wycliffe, the fourteenth-century catalyst of English Bible translation, to the committee of scholars who collaborated on the King James translation. Wide as the Waters examines the life and work of Wycliffe and recounts the tribulations of his successors, including William Tyndale, who was martyred, Miles Coverdale, and others who came to bitter ends, as the struggle to establish a vernacular Bible was fought among competing factions. In the course of that struggle, Sir Thomas More, later made a Catholic saint, helped orchestrate the assault on the English Bible, only to find his own true faith the plaything of his king. In 1604, a committee of fifty-four scholars, the flower of Oxford and Cambridge, collaborated on the new translation for King James. Their collective expertise in biblical languages and related fields has probably never been matched, and the translation they produced -- substantially based on the earlier work of Wycliffe, Tyndale, and others -- would shape English literature and speech for centuries. As the great English historian Macaulay wrote of their version, "If everything else in our language should perish, it alone would suffice to show the extent of its beauty and power." To this day its common expressions, such as "labor of love," "lick the dust," "a thorn in the flesh," "the root of all evil," "the fat of the land," "the sweat of thy brow," "to cast pearls before swine," and "the shadow of death," are heard in everyday speech. The impact of the English Bible on law and society was profound. It gave every literate person access to the sacred text, which helped to foster the spirit of inquiry through reading and reflection. This, in turn, accelerated the growth of commercial printing and the proliferation of books. Once people were free to interpret the word of God according to the light of their own understanding, they began to question the authority of their inherited institutions, both religious and secular. This led to reformation within the Church, and to the rise of constitutional government in England and the end of the divine right of kings. England fought a Civil War in the light (and shadow) of such concepts, and by them confirmed the Glorious Revolution of 1688. In time, the new world of ideas that the English Bible helped inspire spread across the Atlantic to America, and eventually, like Wycliffe's sea-borne scattered ashes, all the world over, "as wide as the waters be." Wide as the Waters is a story about a crucial epoch in the history of Christianity, about the English language and society, and about a book that changed the course of human events.
