Updated King James Bible - Deluxe Cover - Brown

There was a time when translating the Bible from the original manuscripts (Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek) meant running the fatal risk of persecution, torture and death. This was the case with one of the most expressive and resilient heroes of biblical translation, the English pastor and scholar, professor at Oxford, William Tyndale, who was sentenced to death - for the heresy of translating the Bible from the ancient manuscripts into the current English language, which was in its infancy at the time - at the stake in a public square in the Flemish city of Vilvorde, on October 6, 1536 of the Christian era.

Before being strangled by his executioner (as an act of mercy) and then his body being incinerated, Tyndale gained the right to publicly say his last words, and what he did at that exact moment was to raise a prophetic cry: "Lord, open the king of England's eyes!", because only the king could authorize the translation and publication of the Bible.

This edition of the Updated King James Bible comes with a rubberized cover that increases resistance, bringing beauty, comfort and durability.
