What motivated the men who gave us our Bible in English? Much of
the answer lies in the turbulent religious history of the era, but
there are clues which can be found in the prefaces published with
each new edition. This collection of the prefaces to the main
translations of the Bible into English between 1525 and 1611 has
been prepared to coincide with the four-hundredth anniversary of
the fi rst edition of the Authorised or King James Version. An
introductory chapter delineates the key events, and this is
followed by each of the texts, with notes indicating the sources of
the various quotations and allusions. This collection therefore
provides the historical and theological ancestry of a much loved
translation, and readers can hardly fail to be challenged by the
spiritual concerns of the translators. Gerald Bray is Director of
Research for the Latimer Trust. Prior to this appointment he taught
church history and historical theology at Beeson Divinity School,
Samford University from 1993, having previously served as lecturer
in theology and philosophy at Oak Hill College in London.
