Mere Christianity - C. S. Lewis Cover Art

Mere Christianity

Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis

Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide in over half a century. It is one of the most popular introductions to the Christian faith ever written. This classic brings together C. S. Lewis's legendary broadcast talks from the war years in which he set out to simply "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times." By rejecting the many boundaries that has been dividing Christianity’s many denominations for centuries, Lewis provides an unparalleled opportunity for both believers and unbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. This book is a collection of sparkling brilliance that is strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’ reputation as one of the foremost writers and thinkers of all time. “If wit and wisdom, style and scholarship are requisites to passage through the pearly gates, Mr. Lewis will be among the angels.” - THE NEW YORKER “Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.” - NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW “It is not surprising that Lewis’s time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected.” - WALL STREET JOURNAL “C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational.” - CHRISTIANITY TODAY

The Screwtape Letters - C. S. Lewis Cover Art

The Screwtape Letters

The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis

This is the classic written by C. S. Lewis as a dedication to his dear friend J. R. R. Tolkien. A masterpiece of satire, The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comical, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis presents to us the correspondences of the worldly-wise old devil, Screwtape, to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written. This edition includes the hilarious and enlightening sequel, Screwtape Proposes a Toast, where the scene is in Hell at the annual dinner of the Tempters’ Training College for young Devils. Screwtape, who is the guest of honour, rises up to propose a toast. ‘The book is sparkling yet truly reverent, in fact a perfect joy, and should become a classic.’ - The Guardian ‘Excellent, hard-hitting, challenging, provoking.’ - The Observer

Bloodline Deliverance - Mike Brewer Cover Art

Bloodline Deliverance

Bloodline Deliverance How to Set Yourself, Your Family, and Your Bloodline Free from Demons and Curses by Mike Brewer

Your Bloodline Is Under Attack—But You Have the Power to Break Free! Are you battling addictions, relentless struggles, or cycles of defeat? Do you feel trapped, unable to escape the same oppressive patterns no matter how much you pray? Many believers experience deliverance, only to find themselves falling back into bondage—sometimes worse than before. Why? Because the roots of demonic oppression run deep, hidden within bloodline curses, ancestral covenants, and unbroken legal rights of the enemy. Until these spiritual gateways are fully exposed and dismantled, the battle continues. While living in Haiti—a nation steeped in voodoo and demonic rituals—Mike and Andrea Brewer encountered the raw power of darkness face-to-face. These intense battles led them to uncover biblical strategies to dismantle demonic strongholds, revoke generational pacts, and release supernatural deliverance. As international apostolic leaders and deliverance experts, they equip believers to break free from the chains of generational curses and step into lasting freedom. Through powerful, Bible-based principles and battle-tested spiritual warfare tactics, Mike and Andrea equip you to: • Break generational curses and cut off demonic access points. • Dismantle hidden strongholds that have sabotaged your life. • Sever bloodline agreements keeping you bound to cycles of destruction. • Close the spiritual doors that give darkness legal entry into your family. • Step into lasting victory and establish a legacy of freedom for future generations. In the dark, oppression looms large. But when you stand in the light of God’s truth, every stronghold must bow. "There is a reason some battles never end—until the enemy is truly evicted, he will always return to claim what was left unguarded." — Mike & Andrea Brewer Key Revelations Include: • The spiritual legal rights that give demons access to your bloodline. • How to break the cycle of recurring oppression and reclaim your destiny. • The connection between Freemasonry, witchcraft, and generational bondage. • How renunciation prayers and bloodline cleansing release supernatural freedom. • The biblical foundation for generational deliverance and how to walk in it daily. With profound insights and real-life strategies, the Brewers answer critical questions about: • The root causes of oppression and how to break free permanently. • The role of spiritual warfare in tearing down generational strongholds. • How to identify and remove demonic resistance keeping you from breakthrough. • The power of repentance, renunciation, and prophetic intercession in deliverance. • How to establish divine protection over yourself and your family. Perfect for: • Believers seeking total freedom from demonic oppression and spiritual bondage. • Pastors and ministry leaders equipping others in deliverance. • Small groups and accountability partners engaging in spiritual breakthrough. • Christians ready to take full authority over the enemy and walk in victory. This meticulously crafted guide features: • A 15-step deliverance model to break generational curses. • Scriptural foundations for exposing and removing demonic influences. • Prayers, declarations, and renunciations for lasting victory. • Real-life testimonies of supernatural breakthroughs.

Reading Genesis - Marilynne Robinson Cover Art

Reading Genesis

Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of our greatest novelists and thinkers presents a radiant, thrilling interpretation of the book of Genesis. For generations, the book of Genesis has been treated by scholars as a collection of documents by various hands, expressing different factional interests, with borrowings from other ancient literatures that mark the text as derivative. In other words, academic interpretation of Genesis has centered on the question of its basic coherency, just as fundamentalist interpretation has centered on the question of the appropriateness of reading it as literally true. Both of these approaches preclude an appreciation of its greatness as literature, its rich articulation and exploration of themes that resonate through the whole of Scripture. Marilynne Robinson’s Reading Genesis , which includes the full text of the King James Version of the book, is a powerful consideration of the profound meanings and promise of God’s enduring covenant with humanity. This magisterial book radiates gratitude for the constancy and benevolence of God’s abiding faith in Creation.

The Lesser Key of Solomon - Aleister Crowley & S.L. MacGregor Mathers Cover Art

The Lesser Key of Solomon

The Lesser Key of Solomon by Aleister Crowley & S.L. MacGregor Mathers

This edition is a fully illustrated reprint of the 1904 publication by Aleister Crowley and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. This edition of The Lesser Key of Solomon the King contains all of the over 150 seals, sigils, and charts of the original lesser book of Solomon. Beware of other editions that do not contain the Lesser Key of Solomon seals; they were painstakingly researched by Mathers and Crowley, and Solomon’s lesser key is enhanced by their inclusion. This edition also contains Crowley’s original comments located in over 35 annotations to help the reader understand the lesser keys of Solomon the king. In this work, Crowley and Mathers assemble descriptions and directions for the invocation of over 72 demons or spirits. Included are: illustrations of Solomon’s Magic Circle & Triangle, Enochian translations of the Goetia book, step by step guides for invocation, as well as definitions and explanations for the ancient terms seen throughout the Lesser Key of Solomon book. The Lesser Key of Solomon, or the Clavicula Salomonis Regis, or Lemegeton, is a compilation of materials and writings from ancient sources making up a text book of magic or “grimoire.” Portions of this book can be traced back to the mid-16th to 17th centuries, when occult researchers such as Cornelius Agrippa and Johannes Trithemisus assembled what they discovered during their investigations into their own great works. As a modern grimoire, the Lesser Key of Solomon has seen several editions with various authors and editors taking liberty to edit and translate the ancient writings and source material. In 1898, Arthur Edward Waite published his The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, which contained large portions of the Lemegeton. He was followed by Mathers and Crowley in 1904 who published The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon. Many others have assembled their own version of this ancient material since, and it is important to realize that it is the contents rather than the book itself that make up the Lesser Key. Traditionally, the source material is divided into five books: Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria. Mathers and Crowley indicate their edition is a translation only of the first book: Goetia. In the preface to this edition, it is explained that a “Secret Chief” of the Rosicrucian Order directed the completion of the book. The original editor was a G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F. who translated ancient texts from French, Hebrew, and Latin, but was unable to complete his labors because of the martial assaults of the Four Great Princes. Crowley was then asked to step in and finish what the previous author had begun. Traditionally, S. L. MacGregor Mathers is credited as the translator of this edition, and Crowley is given the title of editor. Although impossible to verify, it is often claimed that Mathers did not want to publish this work, but Crowley did so anyway without his permission.

Prayer is the lifeblood of the Christian faith--but many followers of Jesus still struggle to make prayer part of their daily lives. In Pray First, bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges shows us how to make prayer a first response instead of a last resort. Why is it that so many Christians find it difficult to develop a vibrant and exciting prayer life?

Prayer feels quaint and old-fashioned to some, sacred and uncomfortable to others. It's not a lack of inspiration--there's plenty of that. And it's not that we don't realize prayer is important--we know it is. So, what's the issue? Pastor Chris Hodges has spent years studying the prayers of the Bible and the models of prayer that the scriptures provide for Christians. Now, he shares the teachings and methods he's used to successfully help hundreds of thousands of people understand how to spend time in conversation with God--and enjoy every minute.

Stand Firm and Act Like Men - Joby Martin & Charles Martin Cover Art

Stand Firm and Act Like Men

Stand Firm and Act Like Men Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of Who the World Says You Are by Joby Martin & Charles Martin

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From a bestselling author and pastor, a straight-talk, no-nonsense guide to becoming the man God calls you to be.    We’ve all seen the headlines. Masculinity is in crisis. Men are lost. What’s the matter with men? We are confused about what masculinity is and what roles men play in our culture. Manhood, says Joby Martin, is harder than ever because we have forgotten what true masculinity looks like. Real, Biblical manhood is not about driving big trucks, having the biggest guns, or hunting the biggest buck. (Though he’s a big fan of all of those, truth be told.) True men of God surrender themselves before the cross, serve and lead their families, put on the full armor of God, and stand guard against the lies that threaten to tear our churches and our culture apart.   In this book, Pastor Joby walks through what the Bible means when it says, ‘be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let all that you do be done in love’ (1 Corinthians 16:13). He guides readers through what scripture says about who men are, how they should act, and what it means to be a man in today’s culture, and he asks tough questions about how God calls men to respond. Stand Firm and Act Like Men is a call for men to rediscover Biblical manhood in their churches and cities, and to love, serve, and support their families and one another.

The Reed of God

The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander

In "The Reed of God," Caryll Houselander presents a profound exploration of the Incarnation through the lens of feminine spirituality. Drawing on rich symbolism and deeply reflective prose, Houselander employs a blend of mystical insight and practical theology that invites readers to recognize the divine presence within the mundane. Her artistic literary style is imbued with poetic language and vivid imagery, making her reflections on motherhood, suffering, and divine love resonate on both a spiritual and emotional level. This work is set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Christianity, bridging modern existential questions with timeless theological themes. Caryll Houselander was an influential British mystic and artist, whose own life experiences—marked by personal struggles, wartime trauma, and a passionate commitment to her faith—infused her writings with authenticity and depth. Houselander’s background in art and her keen perception of the human condition provided her with a unique perspective, allowing her to articulate profound spiritual truths in accessible language. Her reflections, influenced by her devotion to the Virgin Mary and the significance of femininity in spirituality, reveal a writer profoundly engaged with her faith and the world. "The Reed of God" is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of the Incarnation and the role of femininity in the spiritual journey. Houselander's work serves as a poignant reminder of the sacredness inherent in everyday life and the transformative power of divine love.

The Great Divorce

The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis

This powerful and exquisitely written fantasy is one of C. S. Lewis's most enduring works of fiction. It is a profound meditation on good and evil and on what God truly offers us.

Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone is welcome to remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven? This dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell is one of Lewis’ most brilliantly creative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are actually locked from the inside.

Boundaries - Henry Cloud & John Townsend Cover Art

Boundaries

Boundaries When To Say Yes, How to Say No by Henry Cloud & John Townsend

Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances -- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions -- Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others -- Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator -- Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask: - Can I set limits and still be a loving person? - What are legitimate boundaries? - What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? - How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? - Aren't boundaries selfish? - Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries? Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.

The Meaning of Marriage - Timothy Keller & Kathy Keller Cover Art

The Meaning of Marriage

The Meaning of Marriage Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God by Timothy Keller & Kathy Keller

“Incredibly rich with wisdom and insight that will leave the reader, whether single or married, feeling uplifted.” — The Washington Times Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone—Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged—the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible. Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.

Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—the fear of the Lord. Don’t let this frighten you.

At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. With this compelling and convicting message, you can experience a revival in your relationship with God, whether you’re new to following Him or have walked with Him for most of your life.

A History of the Bible - John Barton Cover Art

A History of the Bible

A History of the Bible The Book and Its Faiths by John Barton

A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible , John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture.

Gospel Truth - Russell Shorto Cover Art

Gospel Truth

Gospel Truth On the Trail of the Historical Jesus by Russell Shorto

Russell Shorto meticulously investigates Christian history and the Bible's New Testament to reveal the true, historical Jesus Christ. For roughly two thousand years, the world has known only the biblical depiction of Jesus: the virgin birth, miraculous life, and resurrection. Recently, scholars have pursued the historical Jesus Christ by poring through texts, examining ancient documents, and even holding votes. They make a fresh attempt to answer some of history's greatest questions: Who was he? Where did he live? What did he think? And was the Bible's account true? In Gospel Truth , bestselling author Russell Shorto ( The Island at the Center of the World ) brings a journalist's eye to the life of Jesus Christ. Shorto looks into the Jesus Seminar, where historians seek and analyze evidence of the world's most famous carpenter's son. He compiles their research and ideas to create a composite biographical portrait of Yeshu, a man of ordinary beginnings who changed the world in extraordinary ways.   A skillfully compiled biblical interpretation, Shorto shows "a Jesus stripped of the unhistorical" ( Library Journal ). The result will fascinate believers and nonbelievers alike.

Mere Christianity - C. S. Lewis Cover Art

Mere Christianity

Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis

Mere Christianity is a powerful and accessible exploration of Christian beliefs, adapted from a series of radio talks by C.S. Lewis during World War II. The book is aimed at presenting the core principles of Christianity — the “mere” or essential truths shared across all denominations — in a logical, thoughtful, and non-denominational way. Divided into four parts, Lewis begins by discussing the concept of right and wrong as a clue to the meaning of the universe. He then explains key Christian beliefs, such as the nature of God, Jesus’ divinity, sin, and redemption. The final sections focus on Christian behavior, morality, virtues, and faith in action. Lewis uses simple language, logical reasoning, and vivid analogies to make Christianity relatable and intellectually satisfying, whether for skeptics, seekers, or believers.

Beloved - Francis Chan Cover Art

Beloved

Beloved by Francis Chan

Bestselling author and pastor Francis Chan explains how abiding in the love of God frees us from insecurity and leads us into a lifetime of joyful, worshipful obedience. Despite pastoring for decades and reaching thousands of people through his books and preaching, Francis wrestled with deep-seated insecurity.  He understood God’s love conceptually, but struggled to actually experience it. This resulted in a life that was far from the thrilling and peaceful life God saved us for.  Francis prayed fervently for God to intervene, and asked his friends and family to do the same. The result was a fresh revelation of the depth of God’s love and affection. This brought about newfound freedom and enjoyment of God that only continues to grow.  As Francis shared this journey with others, he realized that many in the Church are burdened by the same insecurity, and God is zealous to change this.  In  Beloved , Francis Chan gives biblical insight into: • How our restlessness and striving is a symptom of our disbelief of God’s love • Satan’s schemes to keep us trapped in doubt and insecurity  • Discovering and abiding in our identity as God’s beloved children • How God’s love overflows to a life of radical obedience and joy God longs for His children to rest securely in His holy love. It’s what we were made for, and it is this inward confidence that causes us to be light unto the world.

The Book of Enoch - Thomas R, Horn & Enoch Cover Art

The Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch by Thomas R, Horn & Enoch

The Bible, as we hold it today, is esteemed by many religious institutions and especially Conservative Christians to be the inspired, inerrant Word of God. This doctrinal position affirms that the Bible is unlike all other books or collections of works in that it is free of error due to having been given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16, 17). While no other text can claim this same unique authority, the Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, which played a crucial role in forming the worldview of the authors of the New Testament, who were not only familiar with it but quoted it in the New Testament, Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14 15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 60:8). The text was also utilized by the community that originally collected and studied the Dead Sea Scrolls. While some churches today include Enoch as part of the biblical canon (for example the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church), other Christian denominations and scholars accept it only as having historical or theological non-canonical interest and frequently use or assigned it as supplemental materials within academic settings to help students and scholars discover or better understand cultural and historical context of the early Christian Church. The Book of Enoch provides commentators valuable insight into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed when, God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets (Heb. 1:1). As Dr. Michael S. Heiser in the Introduction to his important book Reversing Hermon so powerfully notes: For those to whom 1 Enoch sounds unfamiliar, this is the ancient apocalyptic literary work known popularly (but imprecisely) as the Book of Enoch. Most scholars believe that 1 Enoch was originally written in Aramaic perhaps as early as the 3rd century B.C. The oldest fragments of the book were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and dated to roughly the second century B.C. This places the book squarely in the middle of what scholars call the Second Temple Period (ca. 500 B.C. 70 A.D.), an era more commonly referred to as the Intertestamental Period. This book will use the more academic designation ( Second Temple Period ) [...] The Watcher story of 1 Enoch, as many readers will recall, is an expansion of the episode described in Genesis 6:1-4, where the sons of God (Hebrew: beney ha- elohim) came in to the daughters of man (Gen 6:4; ESV). Consequently, Watchers is the Enochian term of choice (among others) for the divine sons of God. While the story of this supernatural rebellion occupies scant space in Genesis, it received considerable attention during the Second Temple Period [...] The Enochian version of the events of Gen 6:1-4 preserves and transmits the original Mesopotamian context for the first four verses of the flood account. Every element of Gen 6:1-4 has a Mesopotamian counterpoint a theological target that provides the rationale for why these four verses wound up in the inspired text in the first place. Connections to that backstory can be found in the Old Testament, but they are scattered and unsystematically presented. This is not the case with Second Temple Jewish literature like 1 Enoch. Books like 1 Enoch preserve all of the Mesopotamian touchpoints with Gen 6:1-4 when presenting their expanded retelling of the events of that biblical passage. The Book of Enoch is therefore intended to be an important supplemental resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the study of the Bible.

Separation of Church and Hate - John Fugelsang Cover Art

Separation of Church and Hate

Separation of Church and Hate A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In the spirit of George Carlin and Christopher Hitchens, the son of a former Catholic nun and a Franciscan brother delivers a deeply irreverent and biblically correct takedown of far-right Christian hatred—a book for believers, atheists, agnostics, and anyone who’ll ever have to deal with a Christian nationalist. For more than two centuries, the United States Constitution has given us the right to a society where church and state exist independently. But Christianity has been hijacked by far-right groups and politicians who seek to impose their narrow views on government, often to justify oppressive and unequal policies. The extremists who weaponize the Bible for earthly power aren’t actually on the side of Jesus—and historically they never have been. How do we fight back against those acting—literally—in bad faith? Comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang finally offers the answers. In this informative, perspective-shifting book, Fugelsang takes readers through common fundamentalist arguments on abor­tion, immigration, LGBTQ rights, and more—exposing their hypocrisy and inaccuracy through scripture, common sense, and deeply inappropriate humor. It offers practical tips on how to debate your loved one, coworker, or neighbor on the issues that divide us using that Bible they claim to follow. But Fugelsang’s message is about more than just taking down hypocrites. It’s about fighting for the love, mercy, and service that are supposed to make up the heart of Christianity. Told with Fugelsang’s trademark blend of radical honesty, comedy, and deep political and religious knowledge, Separation of Church and Hate is the book every American needs today. It’s a rallying cry for compassion and clarity for anyone of any faith who’s sick of religion being used as a cloaking device for hate.

The Holy Bible - King James Cover Art

The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible Old and new Testament by King James

In the summer of 1603, King James I was on his way to London to receive the English crown. During this time, he was presented with a petition of grievances by those clergy with Puritan convictions. The King held a conference "for hearing and for determining of things pretended to be amiss in the church." This meeting took place over a three day period, January 14-16, 1604, and is known as the Hampton Court Conference. Dr. John Reynolds, the leader of the Puritan party and the President of Corpus Christi College at Oxford, made the motion to retranslate the Bible. The majority of the conference attendees were against it. However, the King found it worthy. Fifty-four of the greatest biblical scholars in Great Britain were chosen to begin the project. They were divided into six groups - three assigned to the Old Testament and three to the New Testament. Two groups from the Old Testament and two from the New Testament were to meet in Oxford, two groups at Cambridge, and two at Westminster. Of the 54 scholars, only 48 were recorded, as some passed away before the completion of the project, which was not actually begun until about 2-3 years after the committees were assembled. The tranlsation began in 1607, was completed in 1610, and made available to the public in 1611. This version is commonly known as the "1611". The new translation was entitled "The Holy Bible", and compared and revised against the previous translations. The Bible was printed by Robert Barker, appointed Printer to the King.
