Synopsis

This book provides an up-close examination of how the Rheims Bible, a revered Roman Catholic version from 1582, influenced the King James Bible or Authorized Version of 1611. Despite the King James Bible being designed as a revision of earlier Protestant versions, the author presents evidence that the Rheims Bible's influence was far-reaching and significant. Through a detailed analysis of the texts, the author uncovers that many words and phrases found in the King James Bible can be traced back to the Rheims Bible's Latin-based renderings. This detailed comparison not only unveils the Rheims Bible's profound impact on one of the most influential English Bibles, but also highlights the complex interplay between different religious perspectives in shaping the development of the English Bible.
