The English Bible

My post below caused me to start thinking about the history of our English Bible. The four essays below are written by Dan Wallace, a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary. A few years ago he spoke at my church--Jackson Bible Church--on this very topic. The history is fascinating and the end result has no doubt had a profound effect on everyone that professes Christianity.

Part I: From Wycliffe to King James (The Period of Challenge)

Part II: The Reign of the King James (The Era of Elegance)

Part III: From the KJV to the RV (from Elegance to Accuracy)

Part IV: Why So Many Versions?

Actually, the entire site that these essays come from is worth a look. It has to be one of the absolute best resources on the internet for helpful information in Biblical studies.
