This course will explore the interesting history behind the King James Bible of 1611, which was the culmination of over a century of controversy on the text and meaning of the Bible in English.  The Christian rediscovery of biblical Hebrew began only in the 15th century and was part of the "return to the sources" movement embraced by the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. This movement led to the creation of the great polyglot Bible editions, which presented the text of the Bible in several languages in parallel columns, part of an increasing concern to determine the exact text of the Bible and greater accuracy in understanding the meaning of the text.
