Centers on the historical and religious significance of the 1611 King James Version (KJV) and the modern effort to restore its original preface. Scholar Edgar J. Goodspeed argues that the removal of this introduction by modern publishers has fostered widespread misconceptions, including the false belief that the KJV is the "original" Bible or was divinely dictated. Through a provided facsimile and modernized text, the source highlights the translators' own words, which describe their work as a scholarly revision of previous English versions rather than a brand-new translation. The text includes the formal dedication to King James, emphasizing the monarch’s role in commissioning a more accurate version for the Church of England. Ultimately, these sources reveal the human craftsmanship and academic rigor behind the KJV, aiming to bridge the gap between pious tradition and historical reality.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Translators-Reader-Preface-James-Version/dp/1258160013?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=de0296779dad7659ffdf41de41fa1b9e&language=en_US&gaOptInStatus=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/ <p>Rory Sutherland is a British advertising executive, and vice chairman of the Ogilvy & Mather group of companies.
