Title: learned a lot
Review: This is a good history of how the Bible came to be translated into English. It covers the period from Wycliffe's Bible in the late 14th century to the King James Bible in the early 17th.It's well written and is an excellent source for those who don't know much about the subject.The last chapter sort of veered off topic by just talking about the English Civil War. I would have preferred if he had instead given us information about later translations of the Bible such as the New International Version. Also I would have liked to have more info on why the Apocrypha was eventually dropped from the canon despite being in the original King James Bible.
Is the review positive or negative?
