Subtitle - "The Story of the English Bible and the Revolution It Inspired"
Written by historian Benson Bodrick, the book "Wide As The Waters" is a marvelous retelling of the historical journey of the English translation of the Bible throughout the centuries. Bobrick begins with John Wycliffe's hand-written English Bible in 1382, to William Tyndale's English-printed New Testament in 1526, to the King James Version of 1611 (and many other lesser known but important English Bible translations, such as the "Coverdale Bible", the "Great Bible" and the "Geneva Bible"). The reader is taken on an almost unbelievable expedition of the incredible spiritual, social, and political achievements of the English Bible that began in England and would spread out touching all four corners of the globe. Where it went, the English Bible brought with it liberty of conscience, individual significance and freedom, and most importantly God's eternally relevant truths in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
For those who wish to embark on the past excursion of the travels and triumphs of the most world-changing translation of the Holy Scriptures, then let Benson Bobrick be your guide as he takes you through the adventure of a lifetime that is the glorious history of the English Bible.
"Next to the Bible itself, the English Bible was (and is) the most influential book ever published."
- Benson Bobrick, Wide As The Waters, Prologue, pg 11
