Course Overview

Please join me as we explore the birth of the English Bible.  Most people know that the Bible was first mass produced in Germany on the Gutenberg printing press.  However, in this course we are going to examine the particular journey of the English Bible.  We begin with early efforts to translate the Bible into English during the Middle Ages.  We then acknowledge the first complete Bible in English by John Wycliff in the 14th century, followed by the work of Erasmus and the first Greek New Testament, the Coverdale and Matthews Bible, followed by the Tyndale Bible, Great Bible and the Bishop’s Bible.  We conclude this course with an examination of the King James Bible.  We are certain that you will find this course informative and inspiring. ]]>
