Alan Cadwallader explores the intricate tensions and conflicts that
infused the work of revision of the Authorised Version of the Bible
between 1870 and 1885. The Promethean aspirations of the venture
actually generated one of the most bitter instances of the
political manoeuvres involved in the translation of a sacred book.
Cadwallader reveals how the public avowal of unity and fraternal
harmony that accompanied the public release and marketing of the
New Testament revision in 1881 and the Old Testament revision in
1885, masks fraught historical realities that threatened the
realization of the project from the beginning. Through a thorough
examination of private correspondence, notebooks kept by various
members of the New Testament Revision Companies in England and the
United States, and other previously unstudied primary sources,
Cadwallader examines and presents the complexities of the political
situation surrounding the translation. He exposes the competing
interests of an imperial, sovereign nation and a seriously divided
Established Church floundering over its continued relevance; the
ambitions and significance of Nonconformity in a nation's highly
contested religious environment; the agonistic conflicts that
erupted from assertions of national and international prestige and
responsibilities; and the ultimate control exercised by publishing
houses that fundamentally flawed the process of revision and the
public acceptance of the final product.
