Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The King James Version of the Bible, first published in 1611, has been the favorite of English readers for centuries. This Everyman's Library edition also contains John Drury's clear, marvelously erudite, and richly detailed introduction. Despite a plethora of new translations in the second half of the twentieth century, the King James Version of the Bible retains its power and appeal because "it has the intrinsic value of a classic and is an enduring masterpiece."Drury outlines the fascinating history of this magisterial translation, marveling at the "patient generosity" with which the translators sifted through and distilled a century of previous scholarship. He points out that their work has endured not only because of the astonishing care they took to reflect faithfully the syntax of the original Hebrew and Greekwhich enabled them to dispense with the densely entangled prose style that characterized English writing at the timebut also because of their concern to combine exactness with elegance. The result has influenced writers from Milton to Coleridge to George Eliot. From the doctrinal richness of the letters of St. Paul to those four masterpieces of storytelling, the Gospels, The New Testament has served as a source of inspiration for centuries.To quote George Steiner on the centrality of the Bible: "What you have in hand is not a book. It is the book. That, of course, is what 'Bible' means. It is the book which, not only in Western humanity, defines the concept of a text. All our other books, however different in matter or method, relate, be it indirectly, to this book of booksAll other books are inhabited by the murmur of that distant source." John Drury's clear introduction to the Everyman's Library edition of the New Testament reminds readers why the KJV, first published in 1611, has been the favorite of English readers for centuries The KJV retains its power and appeal 5 3/8 x 8 3/8 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
