The English Bible Translations (Paperback)

The English Bible Translations and History is a study of the translations of the Bible from the time of Jerome (404 A.D.) to the publication of the English Bible of Challoner in 1750. This book covers the Reformation in England, the reigns of King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth, the Book of Common Prayer, and legislation during this time (1534-1662) frame. It is also a study (604-1750) of the historical, political, and theological problems and doctrines relating to the popes, council meetings, changes in England and Europe, and the rise of the Protestants (1517) and Non-Conformists. Many problems relating to the translations of the Bible into English, and the doctrines and teachings of the Roman Church are also discussed in this book. This study covers (1382-1750) the development of the Vulgate, the translations of John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, the Coverdale Bible, the Great Bible, the Bishops' Bible, the Geneva Bible, the Matthew's Bible, the Rheims-Douay Bible, the Authorized Version, and the Challoner Bible. Related Bible translations, problems, and history are also discussed in this work. This study also discusses Apostolic Succession, Ordination, the Inquisition (1184), the Great Schism of the Catholic Church (1309-1417), the Index (1557), the rise (1382-1689) of the Reformers and the Non-Conformists churches, St. Bartholomew Day's Massacre (1572), the printing of various Bibles(1526-1852) in English for Catholics and Protestants and movements in education and reform in England. The Reformers and Bible translators faced (1382-1611) many theological and political problems with the Catholic Church in trying to bring about translations of the Scriptures to church membersin English and into other vernacular languages; this study explains many of these theological and historical issues.
