Download or read book The Greatest English Classic A Study of the King James Version of the Bible and It s Influence on Live and Literature written by Cleland Boyd McAfee and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lectures included in this volume were prepared at the request of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. They were suggested by the tercentenary of the King James version of the Bible. The plan adopted led to a restatement of the history which prepared for the version, and of that which produced it. It was natural next to point out its principal characteristics as a piece of literature. Two lectures followed, noting its influence on literature and on history. The course closed with a statement and argument regarding the place of the Bible in the life of to-day. The reception accorded the lectures at the time of their public delivery, and the discussion which ensued upon some of the points raised, encourage the hope that they may be more widely useful.

Download or read book The King James Bible after Four Hundred Years written by Hannibal Hamlin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2011 marked the 400th anniversary of the King James version of the Bible. No other book has been as vital to the development of English writing or indeed to the English language itself. This major collection of essays is the most complete one-volume exploration of the King James Bible and its influence to date. The chapters are written by leading scholars from a range of disciplines, who examine the creation of the King James Bible as a work of translation and as a linguistic and literary accomplishment. They consider how it differed from the Bible versions which preceded it, and assess its broad cultural impact and precise literary influence over the centuries of writing which followed, in English and American literature, until today. The story will fascinate readers who approach the King James Bible from the perspectives of literary, linguistic, religious or cultural history.
