Church, Monarch and Bible in Sixteenth Century England

the long version

"Previous works on English Bible translations from Tyndale to King James have concentrated on either the scholarship or the religious passions of the time. Church, Monarch and Bible examines each translation within the context of politics, and demonstrates how translation efforts, religious innovations, and government borrowed from and influenced one another." "This book adds a new dimension to the study of Bible translations, and to our understanding of the Bible of today."--BOOK JACKET.
