A page from Tyndale's New Testament. Tyndale's translation from Greek
and Hebrew texts, is the direct lineal ancestor of the King James (or
Authorized) Version, and hence the force behind
today's English versions.


Bibles: "A host of new ways to spread the Word at Christmas" -- Will knowing more than 400 English words soon qualify one as an 'effete intellectual'?

Wicca: "Wiccan Lawsuit's Goal: Acceptance"
