EXPLORING ERRORS IN THE MATTHEW BIBLE
I focus on the Matthew Bible, published in 1537. It has many problems, due lack of scholarship and financial and human resources. I explore some significant problems and provide solutions. The background music is period-specific, some of it written in the lifetime of John Rogers, the compiler of the Matthew Bible.

My guess is that John Rodgers rushed this project (not comfortable calling it a translation).
I would have to agree. It's not much of a "translation." Similarly, the Blaney 1769 KJV is not a translation, as is commonly thought by the average Christian and by the book publishers, rather, it is a revision of the real King James Bible of 1611.
It's good to be informed about the Bibles that preceded the 1611; that way, we have a clear understanding why the 1611.
I bought the same English Bible History starter pack from Hendrickson that many have. There were changes from the Tyndale New Testament to the 1537 Matthews, showing that it was a work in progress. The 1560 Geneva fixes many issues but is still a work in progress. The 1611 is the pinnacle of all English Bibles. I do enjoy the history and like to take a break from studying the 1611 to read some of these older Bibles. I get some entertainment from some of those old spellings! Thanks for the content as always!
Excellent presentation.
I too pray for them. What else can we do?
Thank you for this teaching, Reg. I pray that these people who appear to have fallen into a ditch, find their way back onto the narrow path.😔🙏🏼
