Course 3C: Formation and Literary Value of the English Bible:
Course 1B, or Course 2B (or the equivalent of either) prerequisite.—A
study of the history of the Text and the Canon will lead up to a study
of the history of the English Bible. Special attention will be given to
the various English versions that culminated in the Authorized and
Revised versions. The earlier versions will be examined, their sources
will be considered, and the literary value of both the earlier and later
versions estimated. In addition to a study of these versions in original
copies or reprints, a wide range of reading will be required in the
voluminous literature of the subject, reports and papers will be called
for on assigned topics, and an essay or thesis demanding original investigation
will be a part of the session's work. Hours by appointment.
