How can we explain the immense popularity of the English Bible? In
this book, Naomi Tadmor argues that the vernacular Bible became so
influential in early modern English society and culture not only
because it was deeply revered, widely propagated, and resonant, but
also because it was - at least in some ways - Anglicised. She
focuses in particular on the rendering into English of biblical
terms of social description and demonstrates the emergence of a
social universe through the processes of translation from ancient
and medieval texts to successive and interrelated English versions.
She investigates the dissemination of these terms in early modern
society and culture, focusing on community ties, gender and labour
relations, and offices of state. The result is an important
contribution to the history of the English Bible, biblical
translations, and to early modern English history more generally.
