- The Geneva Bible: The Forgotten Translation
When King James commissioned a new translation, he explained, "I could never yet see a Bible well translated in English; but I think that, of all, that of Geneva is the worst." What was this "Geneva Bible," and why did James dislike it so? The authors of this site, unabashed fans of the Geneva translation and its Calvinist leanings, suggest that the King might have felt threatened by some of the earlier translation's commentaries. It was, after all, written by English exiles who had fled a queen who was burning Protestants at the stake.
- William Tyndale & the Making of the English Bible
No study of the English Bible is complete without a good look at William Tyndale, the man who was sentenced to death for carrying out one of the most influential translations in history. His translation of the Bible was used by the King James translators more than all of the other previous versions combined. Find loads of attractive pages with biographical sketches, graphics, primary documents, and portraits of his friends and enemies at this extensive site devoted to Tyndale and his accomplishments.
The History of the English Bible While the King James Version of the Bible eventually became the most important English translation, it was certainly not the first. Beginning with John Wycliff's manuscripts in the 1380's, there were about 6 major English translations before the KJV came off the printing press in 1611.
