The Bible in English, by David Daniell

The Bible in English: Its History and Influence, by David Daniell. Steeped in Bible history, David Daniell relates the surprising, entertaining and inspiring episodes of the progress of the Bible and its influence on the English Language. The story begins with English monks who translated the Bible from Latin into their own language 1000 years before the King James version was even contemplated. It goes through the Saxon period, covers King James and takes us up to the present. The most striking aspect of this work is its revelation of the pervasiveness and heartfelt impact the Bible has had in the minds and souls of the English Speaking Peoples.
