God's Secretaries

The making of the King James Bible feels like a story of faith, politics, and language. I wonder what motivated Nicolson to highlight these particular figures and their lives.

I always thought of the Bible translation as a purely religious endeavor, but the book shows how much human drama was involved. Did others find these details reshaping their understanding of the text's history?

The book dives into linguistic choices and methods, which made me curious about how much of it is based on recent scholarship versus traditional narratives. What do others think about the technical depth here?
