In "Learned Men's English," George Washington Moon offers a detailed critique of the English used in the Revised Version of the Scriptures. Originally published as "The Revisers: A Series Of Criticisms On The English Of The Revised Version Of The Scriptures," this work meticulously examines the linguistic choices made by the revisers. Moon highlights instances of grammatical errors, stylistic infelicities, and deviations from clear, concise English.
This book serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of the English language, biblical scholarship, and the art of translation. Moon's incisive analysis provides insights into the challenges of rendering ancient texts into modern English while maintaining accuracy and readability. "Learned Men's English" remains relevant for students of linguistics, theologians, and anyone passionate about the precision and beauty of language.
