FTGF Lesson 250 | Assessing The Printed History of the King James Text (1743: FS Parris)

Summary: This lesson delves into the complex history of textual revisions in the King James Bible, focusing on the work of F.S. Parris in the 1740s and earlier editions. The sermon challenges common assumptions about the timing and origin of certain textual changes, emphasizing the importance of thorough historical research and the limitations of previous scholarly work. It highlights the ongoing process of textual refinement and the difficulties in pinpointing exact origins of specific readings without examining every printed edition.

Chapters:
Chapter 1: Introduction and Review of Previous Findings
0:00 - 10:00
We review the editorial work of F.S. Parris on the King James Bible in the 1740s and previous assumptions about textual changes.
Chapter 2: New Findings on Earlier Textual Changes
10:00 - 30:00
We examine evidence showing that many textual changes attributed to Parris were actually made earlier.
Chapter 3: Implications for King James Bible History and Preservation
30:00 - 50:00
We discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the history and preservation of the King James Bible text.

Key Points:
Many textual changes attributed to F.S. Parris in 1743 were actually made in earlier editions, particularly the 1683 Cambridge Quarto.
The importance of checking multiple editions to accurately trace textual changes.
The limitations of focusing only on major folio editions when studying textual history.
The problematic nature of insisting on verbatim identicality as a standard for textual preservation.
The undervalued significance of the 1683 Cambridge Quarto edition in the history of the King James text.
