5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Outstanding, 18 Nov 2009
By I. Jarvis "Ian Jarvis" (Swadlincote Derbyshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bible in English (Paperback)
This book was an enormous benefit to me in doing some research on the development of the English Bible. I do not know of anything more comprehensive, thorough, well-researched and well written. I found it exactly what I needed, covering the earliest times of the English Bible to the modern translations of the twentieth century. I knew nothing of the details of the Wycliffe Bible, except its existence. Daniell covers it admirably. Tyndale (rightly Daniell's hero as the seminal English translator) comes to life and his importance cannot be overestimated. How many different translations into English were there between Tyndale's New
Testament in 1526 and the year 2000? I had no idea. In fact there were 3,000 - an amazing figure. Daniell covers well the complexities of the English Bible in America, most useful to those like me whose knowledge of that topic was scanty. This book will give you all you need - and probably more! 800 pages of text never flag. The writing is careful, never going beyond the evidence, passionate, vivid and engaging - as befits a Shakespeare scholar. This work is worth every penny and has filled a gap in the field magnificently, challenging false assumptions and providing what must now be the standard work on this vast subject. Indispensable!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and helpful history of the Bible, 9 Dec 2009
This review is from: The Bible in English (Paperback)
I bought this book with the intention of keeping it on the shelf for reference. After dipping into it, however, I could scarcely put it down, being drawn with interest to more and more chapters. As a lover of the Bible, I find it an invaluable addition to my resources, being both fascinating and very easy to read.

The only thing I would have liked to find which is not there, is a section dedicated specifically to the popular New American Standard Version.

I highly recommend it.
