Book Description
As historian Tony Lane once noted, without the King James Version of the Bible, it can be speculated that, there would be no Paradise Lost ... no Pilgrim’s Progress ... no Negro spirituals ... no Gettysburg Address. And even though today there are more accurate and contemporary translations of the Bible, the KJV reigns supreme in the English-speaking world. It is printed and circulated more widely than any other version. The everlasting literary power of this phenomenal volume is unarguable. But how did this remarkable work originate? What were the historical circumstances driving its completion? What sorts of errors (many of them outright hysterical) crept into the translation? Why does it still outsell every other English translation?Verily, Verily offers an informative, inspirational, and light-hearted look into how the world’s most popular Bible was created and why it is still important. Jon M. Sweeney reflects on the cultural importance, spiritual value, beautiful phrasings, and occasional humor of the King James Bible. And Sweeny shows why the KJV has been the most important entry into the Christian scriptures for the English-speaking world and a new understanding of why it is still worth reading.

Endowed with a fascination concerning the many versions and/or editions of the Bible, Pettis explains why the King James Version is paramount.

EMMANUEL
Author: April Marie
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1430329882
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Emmanuel tells the story of Jesus' life by using all four of the Gospels, (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and part of the first chapter of the book of Acts and part of I Corinthians. Learn the story of Jesus' life: where He was born, how He lived, and what He taught. See how He resisted the temptations of the devil, how He healed people and cast out demons. Discover why He went to the cross, how He rose from the dead, and why so many people love Him today. This book follows Jesus' earthly life from the very beginning of the Gospel record, through His many trials and His confrontations with the religious leaders of the day. It also tells the accounts of His miracles, betrayal, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. This book is NOT intended to take the place of the Bible, but it may help you understand the story of Jesus' life better by giving you a more chronological account of it; however, nothing can ever be more complete or accurate than the Bible itself. Jesus' Words are underlined.
