Excerpt from The English Bible, 1911: An Historical Survey, From the Dawn of English History to the Present Day The year 1911 is the tercentenary of the Authorised Version. Some knowledge of the history of the English Bible ought to find its place in the education of English-speaking peoples. What steps led up to the Authorised Version? How did it become the one English Bible? What need arose for the Revised Version? In answering these questions we have to travel far - back to the tiny streams and springs which never ceased to flow from the dawn of English history, and early voices teaching the English people in their mother-tongue the story of Redemption. So we try to learn how far the teaching of the Faith appealed to the mind of the people and moulded the national life throughout the centuries. In many parishes of England this history finds a local habitation and a name. At Charlbury, we are told by a Saxon chronicler, rests by the waters of the river, St. Diuma, of Lindisfarne, missionary Bishop to Mercia (circa A.D. 656). In the days of King James I., Dr. Ralph Hutchinson, Vicar of Charlbury, was appointed to be one of the translators of the Authorised Version. St. John's College, Oxford, claims three of the translators. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
