Publisher's Synopsis
""The Common English Version: An Argument Containing The Common English Version Of The Bible (1850)"" by Christopher Anderson is a book that presents an argument for the use of a simplified and more accessible version of the Bible in English. The book includes the complete text of the Common English Version of the Bible, which was a translation made with the intention of making the language of the Bible more understandable to the common people. In addition to the Bible text, the book provides a detailed introduction that explains the reasoning behind the creation of the Common English Version and the benefits of having a more accessible Bible. Anderson argues that the traditional King James Version of the Bible, while beautiful and poetic, can be difficult for modern readers to understand due to its archaic language and complex syntax. The Common English Version, on the other hand, uses simpler language and a more straightforward style that is easier for readers to comprehend. Anderson also discusses the importance of making the Bible accessible to people of all social classes and educational backgrounds, arguing that the message of the Bible should be available to everyone, not just the elite. Overall, ""The Common English Version: An Argument Containing The Common English Version Of The Bible (1850)"" is a significant work in the history of English Bible translations, and it provides valuable insights into the debates surrounding the accessibility of the Bible in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
