A helpful assessment of a neglected translation.
Lewis's book shines light into a dark gap of historic English Bible translations, showing the Bishops' Bible's place in the lineup of influential translations and versions leading up to the production the King James Bible.The Bishops' was a product of the Elizabethan age, promoted by the Anglican clergy to compete with the popular influence of the Geneva Bible, which was the Bible preferred by non-conformists and Puritans. Lewis even illustrates the Bishops' Bible's influence on Shakespeare's plays.I found Lewis' bibliography of Bishops' editions (about 19 of them) very helpful in my studies.
