Third Edition, 432 pages--$21.95 (paperback)
This collection of essays on the subjects of King James, his Bible, and its
translators is the result of painstaking, original research, with a strict
emphasis on primary sources. Fifteen of these twenty-nine essays appeared in the
first edition of this book, twelve were added to the second edition, and two are
new to the third edition. Some of these essays have been previously published,
and many of them have been revised and expanded for publication in this
edition.
The first four essays relate to the origin of King James’s Bible. Essays
five through ten relate to the translators and their work. Essays eleven through
seventeen explore the translators’ finished product. Essays eighteen through
twenty-one deal with the nature of the Authorized Version in the context of
English Bible history. Essays twenty-two through twenty-eight address certain
issues that relate to the Authorized Version. The last essay provides an
overview of the King James Bible that was specifically written to commemorate
its 400th anniversary.
These essays are not a rephrasing or a retelling of what can readily be
found in a standard work on English Bible history. In fact, some of them are
designed to correct the errors and misconceptions that are unfortunately too
prevalent in the material written about the Authorized Version.
