This was my first venture through the school’s vast storehouse of bookshelves filled with thousands of volumes of printed information. I walked back and forth intensely examining the printed titles on the binding of every displayed book. When I had finished my search, the title of only one book captivated my full attention. To my awe,I was now staring at the title on the cover of a book I had only heard about but never had the opportunity to open and read. It was the first English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI.
