このコンテンツについて

In January 1604, Hampton Court Palace hosted a tense meeting between King James I, the bishops of the Church of England, and Puritan reformers. The arguments were about worship, authority, and the future of the English church — but one proposal, raised almost in passing, would outlast every dispute in the room: a new Bible in English. From that winter conference beside the Thames came a seven-year translation project, carried out by teams of scholars in Westminster, Oxford and Cambridge, and printed in 1611 as the King James Bible. This episode follows how a palace built for power became the birthplace of a book that reshaped English religion — and the English language itself.

A Place in History is presented by Ben Fox — a history graduate, and a lifelong lover of Britain’s past and the places that have shaped it.
