And his genius is shown by the fact that his 1526 English NT is still very readable today.Tim Chestertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274825116843753131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-3060920405123020032013-06-11T11:42:20.363+12:002013-06-11T11:42:20.363+12:00Christmas 2011 I was given a DVD entitled "KJ...Christmas 2011 I was given a DVD entitled "KJB: The Book That Changed the World". It was narrated by John Rhys-Davies, the welsh actor. It told the story of how James VI/I was himself brought up and educated, and then Authorized the translation of the KJB. Of note here is their clearly endorsing much of Tyndale's work already done for them, which the DVD too was happy to underscore often.Bryden Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619512328964399016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-50547008412200985252013-06-11T09:24:30.483+12:002013-06-11T09:24:30.483+12:00The documentary can watched in places that have ac...The documentary can watched in places that have access to BBC i-player. It's pretty good even if it can't avoid the over-dramatized clichés. What becomes clear is: 1. Tyndale's translation of the NT is the real source of most of the KJV NT, and his Pentateuch largely underlies the KJV as well. 2. "Saint" Sir Thomas Heretic-Hunter More was not a very nice man, however 'A Man for All Seasons' presented him.<br />I glanced through a facsimile of Tyndale's NT a few years ago and it's really quite readable - that's when I first began to grasp how much the KJV owed to him. But you will find none of this in the Preface. Part of Tyndale's great genius was to use simple monosyllables that roll off the tongue and stick in the mind.<br /><br />Martin Dolmetscher<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
