<p>This book completes the history of the Matthew Bible that was begun in Part 1, "The Story of the Matthew Bible: That Which We First Received." This summation is a complete vindication of that great Bible of the Reformation. It is also a dynamic and insightful review of forgotten events of the 16th - 17th centuries in England as they wove in with Bible history.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Part 1 was R. Davis's definitive account of the making of the Matthew Bible, which was compiled and published in Antwerp by John Rogers in 1537. It contained the original translations of William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale, together with Rogers' own scholarly and faith-filled notes and commentaries. In this Part 2, Davis looks at revisions to the translations and commentaries over the past five centuries - especially, because of their scope and influence, revisions introduced in the Geneva Bible (1560, 1599) and the Revised Version (1894). An illuminating appendix compares Rogers' notes expounding Hebrew idioms in Genesis with the Geneva Bible notes on the same verses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This much-needed book is a monument to the faithfulness of the Scriptures we first received, and to the only English Bible that was bought with blood.</p>
