More Details on Oct. 18 Lecture (Notre Dame Professor = Randall Zachman)

Randall Zachman will help mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible by sharing insights on the lives of those who set out to write a new version of the Bible to meet the needs of a king and his subjects. His presentation will also look at the impact of vernacular translations on contemporary culture.

This Michigan Avenue Forum, sponsored by Fourth Presbyterian Church, will take place at the Newberry Library, where attendees will be able to view two editions of the King James Bible, a first issue and a second issue, from the library’s permanent collection. To complement the King James, previous English translations, including the Coverdale Bible published in 1539 and the first officially approved Bible printed in English, will also be on view.

Randall Zachman is Professor of Reformation Studies at the University of Notre Dame and has taught several previous courses in the Academy for Faith and Life.
