The subject was suggested to the author by Professor Paul Haupt in the autumn of 1894. Since that time the Authorized Version has been read a num ber of times and carefully compared with the Hebrew text. While the list of Hebraisms in the appendix is confined to the Old Testament, the New Testament con tains a great number, which the author hopes to present for publication at some future time. He takes this means of expressing his thanks to his teacher, Professor Paul Haupt, for many valuable suggestions, and to Pro fessor James W. Bright, who, during the several inter.

Revised and condensed from David Norton's acclaimed A History of the Bible as Literature, this book, first published in 2000, tells the story of English literary attitudes to the Bible. At first jeered at and mocked as English writing, then denigrated as having 'all the disadvantages of an old prose translation', the King James Bible somehow became 'unsurpassed in the entire range of literature'. How so startling a change happened and how it affected the making of modern translations such as the Revised Version and the New English Bible is at the heart of this exploration of a vast range of religious, literary and cultural ideas. Translators, writers such as Donne, Milton, Bunyan and the Romantics, reactionary Bishops and radical students all help to show the changes in religious ideas and in standards of language and literature that created our sense of the most important book in English.
