Sinopsis

Discover how the Rheims Bible shaped the English Bible we know today.

This scholarly work analyzes the Rheims New Testament’s influence on the 1611 Authorized Version, using careful comparison with other English versions and a close reading of key passages.

The study traces the historical path of early English translations, from Tyndale and Coverdale to later revisions, and explains the editor’s method for gauging influence. It assembles tables and textual notes to show how phrases, renderings, and wording from Rheims appear in the final edition, while outlining the broader context of translation practice in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England.
What you’ll experience
  • A clear account of how a late sixteenth‑century Catholic translation affected an English Protestant Bible.
  • Historical background on major English versions and their reception.
  • Discussion of methods used to compare texts and measure linguistic influence.
  • Indexed references and tables that illustrate textual correspondences with precision.
Ideal for readers of biblical history, textual criticism, and anyone curious about how translation choices shape a familiar Bible text.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Part of Rheims in the Making of the English Bible

In this latter work the Rhemish version again finds a place; but, strange to say, the Bishops' Bible - the most abundant of the sources of the Authorized version - is not included. Another version of primary importance, the Genevan, is also left out: for by a curious blunder, calculated to mislead the unwary student, in the column headed 'geneva,' Whitting ham's New Testament of 1557 has been printed.

A complete enumeration of versions and editions of versions consulted by me will be found in Chapter II.
