Episode 4 - King James, the Hampton Court Conference, and the Authorized Version of the Bible

June 25, 2020 • Ryan Hoffer • Season 1 • Episode 4

In this episode we will discuss the ascension of King James I (aka King James the VI of Scotland) to the English throne in 1603 and the winds of change in matters of religion. James' response to the Puritan's petitions for further reformation occasions the Hampton Court Conference of 1604, which resulted in the commission of a new translation of the Bible (take a guess what its called). Also, we will look at a couple of the Translators, namely Lancelot Andrewes and Laurence Chaderton, and how they relate to the main figure if our last episode, Francis Johnson.
