These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Greatest English Classic - A Study of the King James Version of the Bible and Its - Influence on Life and Literature: Look inside the book: By the time the writing of the New Testament was completed, say one hundred years after Christ, while Greek was still current speech, the Roman Empire was so dominant that the common people were talking Latin almost as much as Greek, and gradually, because political power was behind it, the Latin gained on the Greek, and became virtually the speech of the common people. ...One of his contemporaries, Knighton, may speak for all in his saying of Wiclif, that he had, to be sure, translated the Gospel into the Anglic tongue, but that it had thereby been made vulgar by him, and more open to the reading of laymen and women than it usually is to the knowledge of lettered and intelligent clergy, and 'thus the pearl is cast abroad and trodden under the feet of swine'; and, that we may not be in doubt who are the swine, he adds: 'The jewel of the Church is turned into the common sport of the people.' ...Paul's by the Bishop of London; ten years later, 1536, Tindale himself was burned with the knowledge and connivance of the English government; and yet, one year later, 1537, two versions of the Bible in English, three-quarters of which were the work of Tindale, were licensed for public use by the King of England, and were required to be made available for the people!

Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... LECTURE IV THE INFLUENCE OF THE KING JAMES VERSION ON ENGLISH LITERATURE npHE Bible is _a b-Ook - making book. It is literature which provokes literature. It would be a pleasure to survey the whole field of literature in the broadest sense and to note the creative power of the King James version; but that is manifestly impossible here. Certain limitations must be frankly made. Leave on one. side, therefore, the immense body of purely religious literature, sermons, expositions, commentaries, which, of course, are the direct product of the Bible. No book ever caused so much discussion about itself and its teaching. That is because it deals with the fundamental human interest, religion. It still remains true that the largest single department of substantial books from our English presses is in the realm of religion, and after the purely recreative literature they are probably most widely read. Yet, they are not what we mean at this time by the literary result of the English Bible. Leave on one side also the very large body of political and historical writing. Much of it shows Bible influence. In the nature of the case, any historian of the past three hundred years must often refer to and quote from the English Bible, and must note its influence. An entire study could be devoted to the influence of the English Bible on Green or Bancroft or Freeman or Prescott--its influence on their matter and their manner. Another could be given to its influence on political writing and speaking. No great orator of the day would fail us of material, and the great political papers and orations of the past would only widen the field.

Excerpt from The Greatest English Classic: A Study of the King James Version of the Bible and Its Influence on Life and Literature The reception accorded the lectures at the time of their public delivery, and the discussion which ensued upon some of the points raised, encourage the hope that they may be more widely useful. It is a pleasure to assign to Dr. Franklin W. Hooper, director of the Institute, whatever credit the work may merit. Certainly it would not have been undertaken without his kindly urgency.

Cleland McAfee (1866-1944) was a preacher and song writer from Parkville, Missouri. He was known for often writing his own songs that fit the theme of a sermon he was preaching, one of them being the well-known, "Near to the Heart of God." The material in this volume was originally presented as a series of lectures delivered at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1912. This classic work is an exceptional treatise on the King James Version of the Bible as an incomparable piece of English literature, as well as having a profound influence on English and American history.
