The History of the English Bible

The celebration of the Tercentenary of the Authorized Version of the English Bible of 1611 has called into existence the little book here presented to the reader's notice. It is the brief repetition of a story beginning in 670 A.D. and reaching on for twelve hundred years to 1879. It takes us back to the Monastery of Whitby where Caedmon the monk paraphrased Scripture story in Saxon song, and brings us through the centuries to the Abbey of Westminster where a distinguished body of English scholars met in 1870 and commenced that Revision of the Scriptures which first saw the light in 1881. (From the Preface) (3 hr 11 min)

Reviews

More interesting than I expected!

I chose this book because I like the narrator ...But also because I figured it would be less riveting tan a novel so I wouldn't be diverted from my writing project. While it's true that novel would have tempted me more often this was definitely an interesting read! I even downloaded the text from archive.org in order to re-read some of the more memorable(quotable) commentary.

Maryanne did a great job

a marvelous work. should be listened to by every preacher of the Gospel. to be found of God is great to be found by his word is even greater. we as Christians need to understand more and more how's that God through his infinite mercy and Grace has given us and preserved for us his precious word.

A good book about the history of the Bible. I did not care for the last chapter though. The KJV is the perfect Word of God in English
