English Language Bible Translators

More than 300 Bible or New Testament translations, including the popular King James Version, have been produced in English in the past 600 years. The translations, both obscure and well-known, were undertaken by diligent individuals working either alone or in committee. In some instances, translation committees were known to number over 100. This reference work provides information about many of the men and women involved in producing these English language translations. Each of the 346 entries includes the individual's year of birth and death, place of birth, educational attainments, positions or occupations, and literary accomplishments; notes on various editions produced; samples of their translation; and other pertinent facts.
