Our Grand Old Bible Being the Story of the Authorized Version of the English Bible, told for the Tercentenary Celebration by William Muir.
The words in this volume is an acknowledgement to the fact that the English-speaking peoples everywhere owe so much to the English Bible and especially to that version of it which for well-nigh three centuries was the only version read that it would be both unseemly and ungrateful were no adequate notice taken of the Tercentenary of its appearance in the land, as a great gift of God to the nation.
This book is also a call to the Christian Church to arise with new energy, thoughtfulness, and unity to the evangelization of the world. One could scarcely find a better conspectus of what has already been done in missionary work from the earliest times up to the present, and of what we are now called to do, than in this volume. The book will inspire with a new devotion many who above all else desire to witness and work for Christ in the short and swiftly passing day of individual opportunity by sharing with them from “Our Grand Old Book”
