Ha Aviv 20 - The first month of God’s calendar

 

Today’s Topic:

Our Bible, the KJV

 

 

Our Bible KJV has 66 books:

 

39 in TaNaKh and 27 in the Gospels and letters

 

Just 66 books to live our lives by

 

We were told:

2 Tim. 3 [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

 

 

From the net:

William Tyndale: sometimes 1494 – October 1536) was an English Biblical scholar and linguist who became a leading figure in the Protestant Reformation in the years leading up to his execution.

 

He translated much of the Bible into English, and was influenced by the works of prominent Protestant Reformers such as Martin Luther.

 

Tyndale's translations of biblical books were re-used by subsequent English editions (often without his sectarian prefaces or annotations), including the Great Bible and the Bishops' Bible, authorized by the Church of England.

 

In 1611, after seven years of work, the 47 scholars who produced the King James Version of the Bible drew extensively from Tyndale's original work and other translations that descended from his.

 

One estimate suggests that the New Testament in the King James Version is 83% Tyndale's words (Act 12:4 - Easter) and the first half of the Old Testament 76%

 

Tyndale lived and worked during the era of Renaissance humanism and the revival of Biblical scholarship, which were both aided by both the Gutenberg Revolution and the ensuing democratisation of knowledge; for example, the publication of Johann Reuchlin's Hebrew grammar in 1506.

 

Notably, Erasmus compiled, edited, and published the Koine Greek scriptures of the New Testament in 1516

 

Luther's translation of the Christian Bible into German appeared between 1517 and 1522.

 

Today, there are over 450 known versions of the Bible in English alone

 

 

The first words of each book should tell us some information:
