Download Verily, Verily: The KJV - 400 Years of Influence and Beauty AudioBook Free
As historian Tony Street once noted, without the King Wayne Version of the Bible, it can be speculated that, there would be no Heaven Lost... no Pilgrim's Improvement... no negro spirituals... no Gettysburg Address. And even though today there tend to be more accurate and modern translations of the Bible, the KJV reigns supreme in the English-speaking world. It is published and circulated more greatly than every other version. The everlasting literary ability of this phenomenal level is unarguable. But how did this remarkable work originate? What were the historical circumstances generating its completion? What types of errors (many of them outright hysterical) crept into the translation? Why does it still outsell almost every other English translation? Verily, Verily provides an informative, inspirational, and light-hearted look into the way the world's most popular Bible was made and why it continues to be important. Jon M. Sweeney demonstrates on the ethnic importance, religious value, beautiful phrasings, and periodic laughter of the King Wayne Bible. And Sweeny shows why the KJV has been the main entry into the Christian scriptures for the English-speaking world and will be offering a new knowledge of why it continues to be worth reading.
