Campaign 2000

“When we elect our lawmakers in America, we influence the moral character of this nation for better or for worse.  When our laws permit violence against little babies, incidents like the Columbine High School shootings are the logical outcome …”

Early Bibles

Popular translations of the Gospels and of the Bible have been found in Spanish, Italian, Danish, French, Norwegian, Polish, Bohemian, and Hungarian that predate the reformation.

John Wycliff has been credited with the first English bible it 1382 but this is not true. Caedmon, a monk of Whitby in the seventh century translated great portions of the Bible to the "common language." Venerable Bebe, a monk of Jarrow died translating the Gospel of John in the 8th century. Eadhelm the Bishop of Sherborne, Guthlec the hermit of Peterborough, and Egbert the Bishop of Holy Island all translated the Good Book into the Saxon language in the eight century. Other early translators included King Alfred the Great and Aelfric, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Early translations included translated the Book of Durham; Rushworth Gloss, Paraphrase of Orm (1150); Salus Animae (1250).

Thomas Moore, the Lord Chancellor of England during King Henry VIII's reign says, "the whole Bible long before Wycliff's day was by virtuous and well learned men translated into the English tongue, and by good and godly people with devotion and soberness well and reverently read" (Dialogues III) and "the Clergy keep no Bibles from the laity but such translations as be either not yet approved for good, or such as be already reproved for naught as Wycliff's was. For, as for old ones that were before Wycliff's days, they remain lawful and be in some folk's hand. I myself have seen, and can show you, Bibles, fair and old, which have been known and seen by the bishop of the diocese, and left in layman's hands and women's too, such as he knew for good and Catholic folk, that used them with soberness and devotion."
