It took some time for the King James to become the dominant English translation, but it eventually exerted a profound influence on the English language, English literature, and the Protestant churches it was created to serve. It remained the dominant English translation until the last few decades of the 20th Century, and it is still among the top-selling English Bibles even to this day. To honor the work of the translators who produced the KJV and other translations of the Bible, we're pleased to announce the Bible a Day Sale and Giveaway! Every day during the month of May we will offer a 24-hour sale on a different Bible. We will reveal unique coupon codes for each Bible exclusively through our Facebook and Twitter pages, and give away one copy to someone who retweets the day's offer. We began the sale yesterday by offering 30% off The Message, a translation I call the Convex Mirror Bible. Today, we're offering 30% off the New King James Version w Strongs numbers. Be sure to watch Facebook and Twitter for the rest of this month's daily offers.

That would be "Jacobean" English :-) David LangMay 02, 2011 11:27 AM

I throughly resent Accordance's attempt to force me to create a Facebook and/or Twitter page in order to receive the Bible discount pricing. Because of their lax privacy policies, I will not be creating such a page, nor, unfortunately be able to participate in the Bible discount sale. David LangMay 02, 2011 12:36 PM
Norman, you don't have to create a Facebook or Twitter account to take advantage of the sale. SImply visit our Twitter page each day to get the coupon code for that day's Bible. No account required. You do need a Twitter account to enter our Giveaway, but the discounts are available to everyone. Lorinda HooverMay 02, 2011 2:06 PM
I don't have a Twitter account either, but "subscribe" to Accordance's twitter feed with my RSS reader [I use Google Reader, but any RSS reader will do, even the one in Safari]. That way I don't have to remember to check the page, I just have to check my RSS subscriptions, which I do regularly. Ron ShawMay 02, 2011 2:34 PM
Over the years of using your Accordance Bible on my computer, I have often run across the abbreviation, “prim.” I had thought it must mean “primary,” as a way of denoting basic words that are not formed from other words. The idea of “primitive” also occurred to me, but seemed foreign to my understanding of that word (“crude” or “undeveloped”). Even in the “Abbreviations” section of your Dictionary, I find this under “prim.”: “primary, primitive”! This seemed to indicate that you were taking no chances as to which it was! This morning I was consulting Matthew Poole's “Commentary on the Holy Bible,” on Hebrews 12:15. I found this: “Looking diligently: episkopountes notes a very strict and severe inspecting themselves; its primitive, skopein, signifieth such a looking at a thing as those who, in shooting, aim at the mark;” To complete my investigation, I looked up the word “primitive” in my on-line “Oxford American Dictionary.” There I found: • Linguistics denoting a word, base, or root from which another is historically derived. • Linguistics denoting an irreducible form. So it seems we may believe, with good reason, that “primitive” is the word which “aims at the mark” in your Lexicon! |
