1 | English translation before the KJV? | 2 Tim 3:16 | crybabysissy | 52837 | ||
Is there a version of the Bible that exsists (in English), that was translated before the KJV. I dont mean the septungint or greek/hebrew Bibles. Ive heard some bickering between religions that "thier" Bible is the only correct one. ie a Baptist friend of mine will only touch the KJV, while a chirch of God friend the NIV, Methodist the NASB, and so on. Please, any thoughts on the subject will be read and appreciated. (by the way I , as of late, have been reading the NKJV and enjoy it very much.) thanks dw | ||||||
2 | English translation before the KJV? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Reformer Joe | 52838 | ||
There are many translations that predated the KJV. John Wyclif was one of the first to translate the Bible into English in the 14th century, and we also have the Douay version and the Geneva Bible, among many others, which were published before 1611, the year of the KJV. A great source for the arguments against "KJV onlyism" is an excellent book by James R. White called _The King James Only Controversy_. You can find it or order it from all of the usual Christian bookstore sources. Hope this helps! --Joe! |
