The Shadow of a Great Rock: A Literary Appreciation of the King James Bible
Harold Bloom
Reading the King James Bible alongside Tyndale's Bible, the Geneva Bible, and the original Hebrew and Greek texts, the author highlights how the translators and editors improved upon - or, in some cases, diminished - the earlier versions.
