How We Got Our Bible (58 min)

David Gilliland gives a 58 minute overview of how the King James Version of the Bible came to be. Starting with how God gave the original Scriptures in Hebrew and Greek, Mr Gilliland works through the centuries up until when the Bible was translated into English – first, from the Latin, by John Wycliffe, and finally from the Greek by the martyr William Tyndale. Then the fascinating story of how the King James Bible came to be produced and eventually became the standard English Bible for centuries. A helpful and fascinating whistle-stop tour through the history of the English Bible up to 1611. If you’ve never heard this amazing story of divine providence before, take the time to listen today. Readings: 2 Pet 1:19-21, 3:13-16. (Message preached in Ballymena, 13th March 1999)
