Subject: Why so many Bibles? |
Bible Note: Use the first English Bible? Now which version would that be? Among early English versions were The Wycliffe Bible (1395), Tyndale New Testament (1526), Miles Coverdale Bible (1535) and The Geneva Bible (1587). Oh, and I almost forgot, there was the King James Version, a latecomer, in 1611. So which translation would you go with? You ask, "Why was this changed anyway?" Why was what changed? You mean why didn't we stick with the Wycliffe Bible or the Geneva Bible? Why did we need those new modern versions of the 16th and 17th centuries? |
