The story of the English Bible is one of the great adventures of the
last millennium.
It’s hard to fathom that a book, which is an all time best-seller, was
barely known five hundred years ago.
There were valid reasons for this. The medieval church, which controlled
every avenue of individual life, didn’t want it. The printing press,
which had yet to be invented, precluded it. Then came the Renaissance and the thirst for knowledge. Scholars found
new light in ancient manuscripts. One of these scholars, Erasmus,
compiled a Greek New Testament. Other scholars read it and were
converted. Erasmus said he would like to hear the farmer singing snatches of
scripture at his plough .. and the weaver humming phrases of scripture
to the tune of his shuttle.”
