Reviews
""This is a useful volume for acquainting oneself with the primary documents in the history of English Bible translation. It will be of academic use to those working in church history and theology and devotional use to any Christian. These prefaces are also significant in the current discussion of translation theory as they demonstrate a carefully thought-out approach to that topic."" - Ray Van Neste, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee. ""Being aware that the Bible we read is a translation and that translations stand in their own history is not only useful to provide a sense of perspective, it also helps us to be grateful to those countless individuals who devoted (and devote) their lives to preserving and transmitting the word of God."" - Dirk Jongkind, Tyndale House, Cambridge
