A Bible in English threatened the power   of the monarch and the Church. Early translators like Tyndale, whose work greatly   influenced the King James, were hunted down and executed, but the demand for English   Bibles continued to grow. Indeed it was the popularity of the Geneva Bible, with   its anti-royalist content, that eventually forced James I to sanction his own, pro-monarchy,   translation. Errors in early editions--one declared that \"thou shalt commit adultery\"--and   Puritan preferences for the Geneva Bible initially hampered acceptance of the King   James, but it went on to become the definitive English-language Bible. McGrath's history of the King James Bible’s creation and influence is a   worthy tribute to a great work and a joy to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eALISTER McGRATH\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford University and Principal   of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.
