Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and the English People If the people of Great Britain were asked which one of all their possessions was most precious to them, it is hard to conceive what other answer they could give but the Bible. And they would answer well. For to that book they are indebted for many of the qualities and most of the institutions which have given Great Britain its place in the world. To it they owe their deliverance from ecclesiastical bondage, and the development of civil and political liberties which that deliverance made possible. From its teaching they have derived a higher ideal of national rectitude, loftier principles of conduct, and moral forces which individualism alone could bring into general action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and the Anglo-Saxon People IN this little book an attempt is made to trace, in outline, the history of Bible translation from its small beginnings among the earliest English people to its splendid accomplishment in the Authorized Version, to indicate the cost in human life and suffering at which it has been bought and preserved, and to suggest rather than to describe the place which the Word of God in the vernacular - however rude or fragmentary the form - has always taken in the life of the people of these islands. The Latin verses which follow, and of which I have given a rough translation as the motto for this sketch, were found written in an eighteenth-century hand in a copy of the Book of Common Prayer (thomas Parsell's Latin version, edition They are placed here as still more appropriate in their tenderness and beauty to the common fountain of our prayer and praise.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible and the English Language Thus early was the Word of God vernacularized. As soon, in fact, as the English nation and church began their existence as soon as education entered and the English people started on their great work of evangelization, their bible was accessible in their own tongue. It at once began to exercise its influence in the native language in all those beneficent forms in which it is still at work. It is most suggestive to note that the two great agencies started historically together at the call of Christianity.

Download or read book A People of One Book written by Timothy Larsen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Victorians were awash in texts, the Bible was such a pervasive and dominant presence that they may fittingly be thought of as 'a people of one book'. They habitually read the Bible, quoted it, adopted its phraseology as their own, thought in its categories, and viewed their own lives and experiences through a scriptural lens. This astonishingly deep, relentless, and resonant engagement with the Bible was true across the religious spectrum from Catholics to Unitarians and beyond. The scripture-saturated culture of nineteenth-century England is displayed by Timothy Larsen in a series of lively case studies of representative figures ranging from the Quaker prison reformer Elizabeth Fry to the liberal Anglican pioneer of nursing Florence Nightingale to the Baptist preacher C. H. Spurgeon to the Jewish author Grace Aguilar. Even the agnostic man of science T. H. Huxley and the atheist leaders Charles Bradlaugh and Annie Besant were thoroughly and profoundly preoccupied with the Bible. Serving as a tour of the diversity and variety of nineteenth-century views, Larsen's study presents the distinctive beliefs and practices of all the major Victorian religious and sceptical traditions from Anglo-Catholics to the Salvation Army to Spiritualism, while simultaneously drawing out their common, shared culture as a people of one book.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible It is the Opinion of those especially interested in the study of the English Bible that there is at present something of an awakened interest in the subject. In some of our colleges credit is given for systematic work done in the Sunday school. In many institutions courses are given in biblical literature where the sub ject is presented in its historical development. There are a number of textbooks which cover this ground in a satisfactory manner. This book recognizes at the outset the existing condition that the great majority of our young people are lacking in a proper knowledge of the Bible itself. About half of the work, therefore, is devoted to a direct study of the narratives in order to supply a foundation for the literary study with Which the other half is concerned. It is, hoped that it may be useful to students in schools, colleges, and Sunday schools; and to divinity students who may need to extend their knowledge of the Bible in this direction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book About the English Bible Tms volume is simply what its title indicates, A Book about the English Bible. It has grown out of a series of lectures delivered to students in the University of Pennsylvania, the purpose of which was to give a brief account of the English Bible, its immediate sources and their contents, their literary background and surroundings, the forms and characteristics of the constituent books and their relation to each other. To the chapters, in which these subjects are suggested, rather than discussed, have been added several others containing a short history of the translation of the Bible into English, from Saxon times to our own day. Attention is called to the differences between the commonly used English versions as regards contents and translation, and to the reasons for the differences.

It is implicit in the pro foundest sense - it is close to the beating of the heart, and the flowing of the blood. For we believe that English-speaking people possess the Bible in this way, not merely in outward ways and customs, but in the blood. The author can only hope that he has suc ceeded to some extent in making this clear as respects English literature.

Histories of the English Bible abound; but most of them are too voluminous to be popular. This little volume was written to be read, and by as many people as possible hence its brevity and popular style. But though brief and popular in style, it was not prepared in haste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible: History of the Translation of the Holy Scriptures Into the English Tongue, With Specimens of the Old English Versions From these remarks it will be seen, that a critical description of editions and copies does not come within the design of this volume. Such a work, I am happy to know, may be expected from a gentleman, whose intimate ac quaintance with the subject warrants the belief that it will be one of great interest and valuecome the means of communicating to other minds a more lively and more intelligent interest in the sub jcet of which it treats. No other Christian people can show a vernacular Bible with such a history as ours so consecrated byhigh purpose and noble sacrifice, so baptized in the tears and blood of faithful souls, so linked with the inmost life and history of the people. At what cost the Divine Word has been placed in the possession of the English race, and what it has done for that race, are matters which every Christian and every lover of his country has an interest in knowing. Without such knowledge, we can neither rightly estimate its value, nor labor intelligently for the perpetuation of its in uence.

Download or read book Records of the English Bible written by Alfred William Pollard and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the English Bible: The Documents Relating to the Translation and Publication of the Bible in English, 1525-1611 Although the documents here printed are mainly those which I used in writing my Introduction1 they take a considerably wider range. The personal element which the bibliographer was bound to leave very imperfectly indicated here crops up at every turn, and in their own words in prefaces and letters, or in the narratives and comments of contemporaries, we get intimate glimpses into the characters of many of those who played their part in the century which it took to determine the great question as to what Bible the English people should be allowed to read. Another point which the documents emphasize is the political importance attached to that struggle. Just as the documents relating to the quarrel of Tyndale and Joye have little bearing on the main history of the English Bible, and yet are worth all the pages they fill because of their human interest, so the long reports of Hackett to \volsey, or, again, the diplo matic correspondence about the Bible of 1539, which takes us so far away from text and translators, are yet thoroughly relevant as showing the immense importance attached by the statesmen of the day to stopping or forwarding the supply of the Scriptures in English, according as their policy dictated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of the English Bible The following pages embody the results of an earnest attempt to apply the elementary principles of the study-process as ordinarily understood to the English Bible. The book is nothing more and nothing else than this. The explanation and justification of a discussion so rigidly confined to the sphere of method, are to be sought in the peculiar situation in which we find ourselves. In view of this situation it is offered without misgiving or apology. It is generally conceded that we have fallen upon evil days as regards the popular knowledge and use of the Bible. In many respects our greatest book is as much lost to the people as in the days preceding the discovery of the "book of the law" in the reign of Josiah. The most serious element in this painful situation is that it is really without excuse. The progressive loss of popular interest in the Bible has proceeded coincidently with general advance in popular education, and, specifically, in Biblical Science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On a Fresh Revision of the English Old Testament The following essay was written at the request of a valued friend more than three years ago. Immediately after its composition was suggested, the author tried to perform his task with as much expedition and in as moderate bounds as seemed to harmonise with the general purpose in which it originated. But circum stances have interfered to retard, if not entirely to prevent the execution of the scheme of which it was to form a part. The author therefore ventures to send it forth independently, regretting its isolated publication, but hoping that it may prove itself a small contribution to the cause of free thought in relation to the best mode of bringing the contents of the Bible before English-speaking people. He has tried to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
