About This Book

A series of addresses examines the movement to revise the traditional English translation of the Bible and advocates wider public use of the Revised Version in worship. The author surveys the development of the revision effort, outlines the Hebrew and Greek textual bases and the translation principles that shaped new renderings, and highlights representative changes in phrasing. Attention is given to practical and pastoral questions about introducing the revision into liturgical use, aiming to equip clergy and laity with the information needed to consider broader adoption.
