Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the English Bible, tracing its development from its earliest roots in Anglo-Saxon times to the publication of the Revised Version in 1881. It takes readers on a journey through centuries of history, highlighting the pivotal role of individuals who dedicated their lives to translating the Scriptures into the vernacular. From Caedmon, the monk who first paraphrased Scripture in Saxon song, to William Tyndale, who defied religious authorities to produce the first printed English New Testament, the book recounts the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for access to God's word in the language of the people. The author explores the profound impact of the English Bible on the lives of ordinary people, illustrating how its translation and dissemination fostered spiritual enlightenment, challenged religious institutions, and shaped the cultural landscape of England. The book's narrative is not only a testament to the power of language but also a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of those who dared to translate the Bible for the common good.
