John Hall (ca. 1559 – August 1627) was the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, meeting in Burntisland in 1601. He was nominated as "Constant Moderator" in 1606. The Assembly asked King James the VI of Scotland to order a revised translation of the Holy Scriptures (the ''Bible''). It seems that this was the King’s own suggestion, but, despite expressing admiration for the King’s considerable linguistic and theological abilities, the Assembly declined to invite him onto the committee it set up to carry out this task. The main task was to revise an already existing English (that is to say, not Scots) translation - the so-called Geneva Bible which contained extensive footnotes and explanations, many of them not acceptable to the King.

The result was the famous Authorised Version of the Scriptures, a book that has had en ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
