520 1 $a"James VI of Scotland - now James I of England - came into his new kingdom in 1603. Trained from birth to manage rival factions, he was determined to hold his God-appointed position and unify his realm." "The King James Bible is the greatest work of prose ever written. It is no coincidence that the translation was made at a time when Englishness and the English language had come into its first maturity. Boisterous, elegant, majestic and sonorous, the English of Jacobean England has a greater reach than any before or since. The age, with all its conflicts, explains the book." "The sponsor and guide of the whole Bible project was the King himself. His dream of a Jacobean peace, some sort of Eden in England, lies behind a book of extraordinary grace and everlasting literary power. About fifty scholars from Cambridge, Oxford and London did the work and that is the central question of this book: how did this group of near anonymous divines, muddled, drunk, self-serving, ruthless and obsequious, manage to bring off this astonishing translation, which has never been bettered?" "Adam Nicolson gives an account of the accession and ambition of the first Stuart king and of the scholars who laboured for seven years to create his Bible, immersing us in an age whose greatest monument is not a building but a book."--Jacket.
