The Making of the English Bible, written by Samuel McComb and published in 1909, is a detailed historical account of the development of the English Bible. The book begins with an introductory essay on the influence of the English Bible on English literature, exploring the impact that the translation of the Bible into English had on the language and culture of England.The main body of the book is divided into chapters that cover different periods in the history of the English Bible, from the earliest translations in Anglo-Saxon times to the King James Version of the Bible in the seventeenth century. McComb provides a thorough analysis of the various translations, including the Wycliffe Bible, the Tyndale Bible, and the Geneva Bible, and discusses the political and social factors that influenced their creation.Throughout the book, McComb emphasizes the importance of the English Bible in shaping the religious and cultural identity of England. He also highlights the role of individual translators, such as William Tyndale, in advancing the cause of the English Bible and in promoting the principles of the Reformation.Overall, The Making of the English Bible is a comprehensive and insightful study of the history of the English Bible and its impact on English literature and culture. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the English language, the Reformation, or the development of Christianity in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
