Subject: Did Shakespeare help write the KJV? |
Bible Note: Mark, isn't the English that is used in the KJV beautiful? I feel somewhat at a loss to know that this "Golden Age of English" has passed us by! Its tragic when a language such as English continues to deteriorate in the vulgarity that it is now compared to that of the beautiful, clear English of the time of Shakespeare! I appreciate your reference to Tyndale, a saint in which all who admire the task of translation will no doubt admire! I agree, I believe that the NASB should not be 'tampered with' by adding a stylist. The translation is excellent the way that it is. Nolan |
