Reviews

"Professor Bruce's book provides compulsive reading. Not only is there a hard-hitting but balanced assessment of modern versions, but also the story of versions down the ages. Dr. Bruce continues to be generous in his praise and firm in his criticism." Catholic Herald "Acclaimed by scholars as the 'best account of the history of the English Bible'. We cannot imagine a finer account of this remarkable story. Interest is maintained throughout yet another example of the remarkable scholarship of Professor Bruce. This fine handbook is strongly recommended to all who wish a comprehensive grasp of what lies behind our English Bible." The Witness "The story of the English Bible is a fascinating one. No one surpasses F.F. Bruce in telling it with a blend of scholarship and readability." Baptist Times "Excellent." The Expository Times "Here's one to treasure. Indispensable. It is the best and most comprehensive book on the English Bible." Methodist Recorder "Invaluable.

Bruce gives an admirable account of the History of the Bible in English tracing the early history of the Scriptures in English down to the present day."

Bibliotheca Sacra "The best source for information on the English Bible." Religious Book Review "Bruce's control of his material is admirable.
