520 1 |a "The authors offer both a political and literary history of the Bible. Their purpose is to explain how styles of presenting Scriptures in English developed out of political and ecclesiastical circumstances. The result is a reassessment of the literary and scholarly accomplishment of all the Renaissance Bibles and a clear account of what is different and distinctive in the King James Version. They also linger over the texts of the Bible, comparing significant passages in the various versions. Such close study of the texts is warranted because the English Bible has had a profound effect on English language, literature, politics and ideas; it has left a lasting impression on the language that we speak today. No other language, except perhaps German, can boast that its vernacular translation of the Bible is a literary masterpiece in its own right." "Fine illustrations, with lengthy captions, are an integral part of the book. The images, mostly from extraordinarily rare imprints, make Let It Go among the People unusually vivid and captivating."--BOOK JACKET.
