Toots writes “Interesting Book Review, by Leo Sandon, Distinguished Teaching Professor of religion and American studies at Florida State:
If you want a serious volume among your summer reading selections, I suggest Adam Nicholson’s well-received “God’s Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible” (Harper Collins, 2003). It is informative yet engaging; erudite yet accessible; well-researched yet not scholarly thick. One gathers Nicholson intentionally omitted footnotes or endnotes in the interest of readability (a mistake, I think), but he provides 25 felicitous illustrations, six helpful appendices and a rather extensive bibliography. It is a fine telling of the creation of the King James Bible.
