Originally delivered as a series of lectures at the Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences, this 1912 volume of essays examines
the profound impact the King James version of the Bible exerted
upon not only the literature of the English language but upon the
very civilization of Britain and its English-speaking offspring,
the United States of America. From the impetus that brought about
the King James translation and its particular unique
characteristics to the Bible itself as a literary work and its
influence upon writers such as Milton, Thackeray, Dickens,
Stevenson, Poe, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and others, this is an erudite
and illuminating survey of the power and prevalence of the King
James Bible in the social and cultural lives of the
English-speaking world. CLELAND BOYD MCAFEE (1866-1944) was a
professor at Chicago's McCormick Theological Seminary. In addition
to numerous popular hymns, he also wrote the books The Growing
Church, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount, and Ministerial
Practices: Some Fraternal Suggestions.

The lectures included in this volume were prepared at the request
of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. They were suggested
by the tercentenary of the King James version of the Bible. The
plan adopted led to a restatement of the history which prepared for
the version, and of that which produced it. It was natural next to
point out its principal characteristics as a piece of literature.
Two lectures followed, noting its influence on literature and on
history. The course closed with a statement and argument regarding
the place of the Bible in the life of to-day.The reception accorded
the lectures at the time of their public delivery, and the
discussion which ensued upon some of the points raised, encourage
the hope that they may be more widely useful.
