A great deal of what is frequently said about the history of the printed English Bible has been indebted to a small number of nineteenth and early twentieth-century scholars. Westcott's General View is still unrivalled in scope and depth as a history of the English Bible.1 Moulton's collations of the lesser-known biblical texts were an enormous resource to Westcott and often formed the basis of Westcott's conclusions.2 Fry's important study of Coverdale's Bibles, in particular, was an enormous contribution to our understanding of those texts.3 It provided Mozely with much of what he needed to know for his important book on the subject.4 The effort that has gone into documenting these Bibles is only to be glimpsed from the working files of bibliophiles like Offor. 5 The Darlow and Moule catalogue6and Pollard and Redgrave's Short Title Catalogue7are two invaluable standard reference works for a student of the English Bible. Two factors must be born in mind, however, when we approach Westcott's work. The first factor is that Westcott was tracing a general history of the English Bible up to 1611. The perception of the King James Authorised Version as the definitive English Bible dictated the agenda of Westcott's history, and has done subsequent histories. English Bibles were considered important IB.F. Westcott, A General View of the History of the English Bible, 3rd ed., rev., W.A. Wright. London: Macmillan, 1905. 2W.F.

Vlll PREFACE TO THE READER only if they contributed either to the internal history of the King James Version, or if they were able to claim precedence in the history of English biblical production. In Westcott's work, therefore, it is no surprise that Bibles that were internally different from the King James Version were given secondary place to those Bibles which bore inherent resemblance to what was perceived to be the finished text, the King James Version. A second factor that scholars should be alerted to is that some of the collations on which Westcott based his verdicts were small. Some Bibles have therefore suffered neglect because of slim and unrepresentative evidence, where larger collations might have shown more agreement with the King James Version than Westcott supposed. Other Bibles have suffered from the very method by which they have been approached. In this study I review some of those neglected texts using substantial collations of my own from first edition texts in the John Rylands Manchester University Library and the British Library. Whilst studies of Reformation Bibles have addressed the implications of Sola Scriptura and the problems of canon, the interpretation of the text evidenced in the application of marginal annotations has rarely been discussed. I will attempt to do that here.s Tyndale's importance as a maker of the English language through his translations has only relatively recently been established by scholars such as Hammond9 and Daniell. 10 Less discussed are Tyndale revisions of his own work, which sometimes displayed less philological accuracy for the sake of making better sense. I I This tendency was more fully developed by sixteenth-century revisers of Tyndale's work after his martyrdom in 1536. Nida's contribution to this field of study suggested methods for organising the kinds of decisions that translators make into categories. 12 Nida's is one method of organising this material, but as he has said: "revisions are in some ways a good deal more difficult than original translations, and hence often involve very complex procedures, usually because of vested interests".13 Nida makes no distinction between the process of translation and that of revision, though two processes do clearly require different treatments. This study is about sixteenth-century revision, and it would be an injustice to Tyndale, and to Coverdale, to suggest 8 See R. A. Muller.

New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1994. 11M. Weitzman has described Tyndale recently as a maximalist translator. See his article: 'Translating the Old Testament: the Achievement of William Tyndale', Reformation 1 (1996) 165- 180. 12E. A. Nida. Toward a Science of Translating with Special Reference to Principles and Procedures Involved in Bible Translating. Leiden: Brill, 1964. iibid. Nida goes on to say that "no attempt is made to distinguish between the two processes". 245. PREF ACE TO THE READER ix that the revisers of their work were doing the same kind of thing as Tyndale and Coverdale had done when they made their translations. Whilst the main preoccupation of Bible scholars has been to trace internal histories and to establish importance on that basis, there are many more ways to approach a sixteenth-century biblical text. This study therefore attempts to approach the material from alternative perspectives. Even in the case of the perceived landmarks of English biblical history, a great deal of erudite scholarship has documented the changes that occur, but often these are presented in the form of raw data with very little discussion of the implications of those changes for the reader. In this study I uncover differences between biblical texts that have not been registered or discussed previously, and I consider the implications of revision for a reading of the texts. The extent to which these revisions might be accounted for by "vested interest" or agenda in the sixteenth century is a second consideration of the study. The title of this book is drawn from Edmund Becke's prefatory epistle to Prince Edward in his revision of the Matthew Bible, published by John Daye in 1'549. 14 It is a phrase that resounds through the literature of the period. The biblical prefaces are addressed to a variety of audiences: "brethren", "good Christians", "gentle readers". The texts themselves have a variety of uses. When Coverdale prints his Psalms, they are for instruction and prayer; even his Goostly Psalms have the same essential purpose but have musical apparatus to enable memorisation.

  • Tender Mercies in English Scriptural Idiom and in Nephi's Record
    Tender Mercies in English Scriptural Idiom and in Nephi’s Record Miranda Wilcox Nephi records divine beings inviting humans to participate in the sacred story of salvation and humans petitioning divine beings for aid in their mortal affliction. The first chapter of Nephi’s story introduces linguistic, textual, and narrative questions about how humans should engage with and produce holy books that memorialize these divine- human relations in heaven and on earth. For Nephi, a central element of these relationships is “tender mercies” (1 Nephi 1:20). What are tender mercies? How do the Lord’s tender mercies make the chosen faithful “mighty, even unto the power of deliverance”? Nephi’s striking phrase has become popular in Latter-day Saint discourse since Elder David A. Bednar preached of the “tender mercies of the Lord” at general conference in April 2005. He defined tender mercies as “very personal and individualized blessings, strength, pro- tection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ.”1 I would like to extend this discussion and reconsider this definition with respect to Nephi’s record by explor- ing the biblical sources and the transmission of this beloved phrase through English scriptural idiom. 1. David A. Bednar, “The Tender Mercies of the Lord,”Ensign , May 2005, 99. 75 76 Miranda Wilcox Nephi explains that he has acquired “a great knowledge of the good- ness and the mysteries of God” and that he will share this knowledge in his record (1 Nephi 1:1).

  • THE KING JAMES VERSION of the BIBLE Preface the Bible Is God's Inspired and Infallible Word – It Is God's Book
    THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE Preface The Bible is God's inspired and infallible Word – it is God's Book. God has given this Book to His people to teach them the Truth that they must believe and the godly life that they must live. Without the Holy Scriptures the believer has no standard of what is the Truth and what is the lie, what is righteous and what is wicked. It is, therefore, imperative that everyone takes great care that the Bible version that he uses, defends, and promotes in the world is a faithful translation of the Word of God. On this point, however, there is much confusion. There are many versions available today and they are all promoted as the best, the most accurate or the easiest to understand. All of them are justified by the supposed inferiority of the King James Version. The truth is quite different. The King James Version, although it is 400 years old, is still the best translation available today. It was translated by men who were both intellectually and spiritually qualified for the work The great version that they produced is faithful to the originals, accurate, incomparable in its style, and easily understood by all those who are serious about knowing God's Word. The King James Version of the Bible is the version to be used in our churches and in our homes. The Inception Of The New Version: A Puritan's Petition – Representatives of the Church of England were gathered together for a conference in January 1604.

  • The First of the First Authorised English Bibles
    The First of the First Authorised English Bibles By Ruth Magnusson Davis, B.A., LL.B., Founder of the New Matthew Bible Project Woodcut of the execution of William Tyndale, from John Foxe, Acts & Monuments of the Christian Church n the years 1536-1539, the battle for the Bible was finally won in England. The five soldiers in the front line of this battle were William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale, Bible I translators, their friend John Rogers, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, and, lastly, Lord Thomas Cromwell, who was then chief minister to King Henry VIII. God placed them all strategically in time, place, and office, so together they could work to bring vernacular Scriptures to the country. Between them, and with Henry’s hard won cooperation, these men took the field with three whole English Bibles: Coverdale’s of 1535, the 1537 Matthew Bible, and the 1539 Great Bible. Historians disagree about which of these Reformation Bibles may justly be called the first authorised English Bible. Some assert firmly that it was the Matthew Bible, 1 but others say only the Great Bible was ever truly authorised. 2 So which was it, and why the confusion? The Matthew Bible In 1537, the Matthew Bible arrived in England, probably from Antwerp where it is believed to have been printed. This Bible contained the combined translations of William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale. Tyndale’s translations comprised the New Testament and first half of the Old, being all he was able to complete before he was imprisoned in 1535. Coverdale supplied Scriptures for the balance of the Old Testament and Apocrypha, except three Apocryphal books that Rogers took from other sources.
