Know the Bible History Better

After the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, the publication of texts got a big boost. During those early years of printing, there were many takers for the Latin Bible. However, things changed after the Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1455. It was followed by 90+ other editions of the Vulgate, some of which came equipped with commentary, and were published by presses spread across Europe.

The 15th and early 16th centuries in Europe are marked by significant intellectual change, which had a direct impact on the Bible’s availability and accessibility in the vernacular language to the commoners.  

Tracing the Bible History

The first hand-written Bible manuscripts in English were produced by John Wycliffe in the 1380’s AD. Wycliffe was a leading theologian and scholar of his time, who believed the organized Church's teaching was in contrast to the Bible.

In the 1450s, after the printing press was invented, Johann Gutenberg printed a Latin language Bible. This became the first book ever to get printed.

Over time, the Latin Vulgate became so corrupt that it could no longer preserve the message of the Gospel. This was exactly what Thomas Linacre, an Oxford professor, stated after he learned Greek and then read the Gospels in Greek. His words couldn't be taken lightly as he was the personal doctor to England’s King Henry VII and VIII.

After he found 6,000+ mistakes in the Vulgate, Erasmus, a priest based in the Netherlands, published a new Greek translation of the Bible by using multiple sources.

In 1522, Martin Luther's translation of the New Testament into German was published, which became renowned as Luther’s September Testament. In 1526, William Tyndale published his New Testament. Later, in 1530, he published the Pentateuch. Often called the Protestant Reformation’s “father,” Tyndale’s work had a significant impact on subsequent Bible translators.

Wrapping Up

In 1539, the Great Bible was published. It was the first authorized version of the Bible in English. Some years down the line, the Geneva Bible and the Bishop’s Bible came into existence, and then came the KJV in 1611, which quickly became the most extensively published text in the English language.

Bishop Wulfila explains the Gospels to the Goths

[artist-issues]

okay but the thing is, the Prodigal Son should never have left his father. His father was good and right and cared for him. The Prodigal wished his father was dead and had to hit rock bottom before he decided to come beg for mercy from his father. And the father was merciful and excited and rejoiced that his loser son came home.

it’s an awesome story about the Gospel, or about rejoicing with God over sinners who repent, with open arms—

—so if Clancy is returning to DEMA because “prodigal” is supposed to mean he was a traitor to good and loving leaders and now he’s coming back repentant and ready to serve them, that’s dumb. They shouldn’t have been painting the bishops as bad guys, in that case. The father that the prodigal runs from is THE good guy, the right guy, in the parable.

Throne of Glass was published on fictionpress in 2003. The original version was called Queen of Glass and was supposed to be a Cinderella retelling. As we read throught the final product we can see that apart from glass palace in Rifthold it has little to do with the classic Grimm's/Perrault's tale. In the original fairytale we had cruel stepmom and wicked stepsisters who were mean to Cinderella - Throne of Glass has none of that.

I saw people talking abt how both Acotar and Crescent City shares many elements taken from Abrahamic Religions and I think that with Throne of Glass it's the same, especially the storyline from book 1 about Celaena being a slave at salt mines.

In their old posts @alexcollix7 and @longsightmyth pointed out that Celaena being a slave at salt mines storyline was ripped off Lucivar Yaslana's arc from The Black Jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop, but I think it actually has something to do with The Book of Esther.

The Book of Esther also features a young heroine being sold into slavery who then wants to overthrow a powerful ruler - this can't be coincidence

Applying Your Bible Reading

by J.C. Ryle

“Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible reading. By reading that book we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and how to die in peace.

“Happy is that man who possesses a Bible! Happier still is he who reads it! Happiest of all is he who not only reads it, but obeys it, and makes it the rule of his faith and practice!”

"By the end of April [1536], Geoffrey Pole had joined Jane's promoters. It was then that Chapuys, noting that Sir Nicholas Carew had been made knight of the Garter instead of George Boleyn, wrote: ' [Carew] continually counsels [Mistress Seymour] and other conspirators 'pour luy faire une venue,' and only four days ago he and some persons of the chamber sent to tell the Princess to be of good cheer, for [...] the King was already as sick and tired of the concubine as could be; and the brother of Lord Montague told me yesterday at dinner that the day before the bishop of London had been asked [whether] the King could abandon the said concubine, and he would not give any opinion to anyone but the King himself...'"

Today, when we accept Jesus as our Savior that doesn’t mean our lives will be free from troubles or sorrows or struggles. But it does mean that Jesus will always be faithful to help us when we need Him. When we trust in the Jesus with all of our hearts, seeking His will, He will show us the way. And like a tree planted by the water, our lives can still bear fruit for His kingdom.

You can Depend on God.

I Believe

We can do Better

If there is a great master theme of the entire bible I would say it's orthodoxy, by which I mean right worship, right praise. So we're made to lead the whole of creation in a chorus of praise to the true God.
