Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and the Anglo-Saxon People IN this little book an attempt is made to trace, in outline, the history of Bible translation from its small beginnings among the earliest English people to its splendid accomplishment in the Authorized Version, to indicate the cost in human life and suffering at which it has been bought and preserved, and to suggest rather than to describe the place which the Word of God in the vernacular - however rude or fragmentary the form - has always taken in the life of the people of these islands. The Latin verses which follow, and of which I have given a rough translation as the motto for this sketch, were found written in an eighteenth-century hand in a copy of the Book of Common Prayer (thomas Parsell's Latin version, edition They are placed here as still more appropriate in their tenderness and beauty to the common fountain of our prayer and praise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the English Bible: Extending From the Earliest Saxon Translations to the Present Anglo-American Revision In order to bring down the history of English translations to the present time, an extended account will be found in the following pages, of various public and private attempts to wards translations and revisions since that of King James' Bible, 1611. The great majority of these efforts were by private individuals and consequently of no special impor tance. There were other attempts made by public authority, and hence of greater significance. By far the most important of these, is the anglo-american revision undertaken by the authority of the Convocation of Canterbury and with the ex press design of superseding King James' version. Whether it will accomplish this design must remain, for the present at least, an open question. It must he confessed, however, that in the history of English translations no version ever attracted so wide-spread expectation. And then it carries with it the recommendation of the most profound English and American scholarship - a scholarship in every way com petent to deal with original authorities and to make the best use of all critical helps. While this is true of the New Testament revisers whose labors have just closed, it is equally true of the Old Testament revisers whose labors will not be completed for some three years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and the English People If the people of Great Britain were asked which one of all their possessions was most precious to them, it is hard to conceive what other answer they could give but the Bible. And they would answer well. For to that book they are indebted for many of the qualities and most of the institutions which have given Great Britain its place in the world. To it they owe their deliverance from ecclesiastical bondage, and the development of civil and political liberties which that deliverance made possible. From its teaching they have derived a higher ideal of national rectitude, loftier principles of conduct, and moral forces which individualism alone could bring into general action.

Download or read book In Discordance with the Scriptures written by Peter Johannes Thuesen and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2002 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the translation of the Bible in America begins with the King James Version. In fact, many Americans thought of the KJV as the foundational text of the Republic, rather than a cultural inheritance from Anglican Britain. In the nineteenth century, however, as new editions of the Greek New Testament appeared, scholars increasingly recognized significant errors and inconsistencies in the KJV. This soon 1ed to the Bible revision movement, whose goal was the uniting of all English-speaking Protestants behind one new, improved version of the Bible. Ironically, as Peter Thuesen shows in this fascinating history, the revision movement in fact resulted in a vast proliferation of English scripture editions and an enduring polarization of American Christians over versions of Holy Writ. The recurrent controversies over Bible translations, he argues, tell us less about the linguistic issues dividing conservatives and liberals than about the theological assumptions they have long held in common.

This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible and the English Language The two greatest treasures in the possession of any Christian nation are the Bible in the vernacular and the vernacular itself. Though it is true, as Archbishop Trench has stated, * that a language is more and mightier in every way than any one of the works composed in it, this advantage in favor of the lan guage is reduced to a minimum if not indeed rendered doubtful, when we come to compare it with its expresssion in the Holy Scriptures. Of no nation of modern times is this assertion truer than of English-speaking peoples. Germany excepted, there is no civilized country where the Bible and the language alike have done more for the best interests of the population, and more in which the mutual relations of these two great educational and moral agencies have been closer and more marked. Among the English, as elsewhere, no sooner did Christianity enter and obtain a foothold than the necessity was felt of having the Word of God translated into the home speech. It was so in the days of Ulfilas, Bishop of the Goths. As soon as his countrymen along the Black Sea became con verts to Christianity, in the early part of the fourth century, it was their earnest desire to possess the Bible in their own tongue. To this work the learned and holy bishop was compe tent and inclined. About 360, A. D., he completed the trans lation of the New Testament from the original Greek and a portion of the Old Testament from the Septuagint version into the moeso-gothic. It was in a true sense about the first written example of a Germanic language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... and we have so strong a desire to maintain that all Scripture shall be fulfilled, even as Christ has declared, to the jots and the titles, as to insist that this Scripture must have received fulfilment, though in our blindness (Romans xi.) we have hitherto failed to discover in what way, therefore, we boldly declare that The Identity conclusively proves the truth of this Scripture, and that we Saxons inherit this very name of Saxons from Isaac. It is entirely in accordance with the old usage of cutting off the prefix and adding an affix: that of taking away the prefix "I" in Isaac, and adding the affix "ons" we obtain in the word Saxons nothing more than the "Sons of Isaac;" so that we, being identical with lost Israel, fulfil Scripture by our Saxon name, which is a standing testimony that our seed has been called in Isaac. This was to be only Israel's lot; it is only ours; ergo, we must be Israel. israel must be god'S inheritance. Identification The Forty-seventh. An inheritance is a possession. With us the term is confined to property; each person's inheritance is something localized separate and distinct from properties adjoining. But the Lord has been pleased to apply the term to a people. He careth not for funds, or estates; but, in looking down upon the different nations, He has selected one--only one--out of the many, to become his peculiar possession--His inheritance. It pleased him to accept the prayers of one man, to take the people of Israel as His own inheritance; for Moses said, "If now I have found grace in Thy sight, O, Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us, for it is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and Take Us For Thine Inheritance" (Exod. xxxiv. 9).

Download or read book Rewriting the Old Testament in Anglo-Saxon Verse written by Samantha Zacher and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible played a crucial role in shaping Anglo-Saxon national and cultural identity. However, access to Biblical texts was necessarily limited to very few individuals in Medieval England. In this book, Samantha Zacher explores how the very earliest English Biblical poetry creatively adapted, commented on and spread Biblical narratives and traditions to the wider population. Systematically surveying the manuscripts of surviving poems, the book shows how these vernacular poets commemorated the Hebrews as God's 'chosen people' and claimed the inheritance of that status for Anglo-Saxon England. Drawing on contemporary translation theory, the book undertakes close readings of the poems Exodus, Daniel and Judith in order to examine their methods of adaptation for their particular theologico-political circumstances and the way they portray and problematize Judaeo-Christian religious identities.
