| Scrabble harder, of hurry, Ky, has
furnished some quotations from the
bible and wants to know what the
readers of the News think about them.
j ! will give him my opinion but first
llet us examine the history of the trans
Ilation of the bible to the English ton
! que. The first translation was made
lprevious to the invention of printing
and was supposed to have been done by
the monks while in seclusion or in hid
ing from persecution. Then we come
!. down, to the year 1884 when the whole
) bible was translated by John Wycliffe
and other ripe scholars but was not
made from the original Greek and He
brew, Of which no copies existed at that
time in Western Europe, but from the
! Latin Vulgate, the translation made
lby Jerome in the fourth century Of the
Christian era, Then they We're trans
, lated several times between 1884 and
t1596 by William Tindal and Luther.
After this the translation of the bible
| was stopped until the year 1880 wher
n appeared the translation by Tindal O.
THE five books Of Moses Next in thu
Y year 1886, appeared the bible Of Mile
: Ooverdale, the first printed bible il
) the English language. This was dedi
Gated to King Henry the eighth. Ii
p l155S the Geneva bible made its appear
: ance and was the work Of English ex
lilies. In 1868 Archbishop Parker, b,
r command, undertook, with the help o
lothers, to translated the great Bible
'tl Then we have the translation of 161
lby King James. SO we see the bibl

n Tindal in 1880; by Coverdale in 1889
= in Geneva in 1858; by the Bishops i
: 1865, and by King James in 1901, an
since that time it has been translate
