Sources of the English Bible
By Editor
WE continue this week the publication of historical matter bearing upon the sources of our present English Bible, and accompany it with a diagram which will be helpful in understanding the relation which the last revised version of the Scriptures bears to the previous translations. It will be seen at a glance that nearly all of the previous translations have been simply revisions of previous editions of the Bible. While the latest revised version is, in a sense, a revision, it is also the result of a careful study of many manuscripts which have been discovered since the King James's translation was made. We hope these articles will be found helpful by many readers.
