We studied the standard Scottish history syllabus of its day, I imagine. (That's European history as taught in Scotland, not history of Scotland.) It's amazing how much time you can dedicate to the interesting bits of history if you omit an account of centuries of Englishmen being untrue to their monarchs, or raping France.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-40992018474457555962012-09-05T12:31:58.111+01:002012-09-05T12:31:58.111+01:00It is remarkable how readable the Authorized Versi...It is remarkable how readable the Authorized Version still is, despite 400 years of language evolution. The Douay-Rheims translation, its rough contemporary, has distinctly more archaic sound. Many modern readers prefer the Revised Standard Version (NOT the New Revised Standard Version) because its language is thoroughly modern.<br /><br />All three are distinguished by accuracy and a concern to revere and transmit the Word of God. None of them has any of the corrupt, dishonest political correctness that has produced so many evil translations over the last half-century. Even the second edition of the Catholic New American Bible goes in for inclusive language at the expense of accuracy.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-28322241845188462662012-09-05T12:23:51.250+01:002012-09-05T12:23:51.250+01:00@d - I did say *hardly* anybody, and you are not e...@d - I did say *hardly* anybody, and you are not exactly typical... <br /><br />(PS I've censored your sarcy sweary comment about the OT...)Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-51881538824272972532012-09-05T12:16:56.458+01:002012-09-05T12:16:56.458+01:00They were covered in history lessons at my school,...They were covered in history lessons at my school, and that wasn't even in England.
