This book contains the 1550 treatise of Myles Coverdale as it was reprinted by the Parker Society in 1846, with also an Appendix by Ruth Magnusson Davis. "The Hope of the Faithful" is Coverdale's translation of the German work of Otho Wermullerus. It sets forth the traditional doctrine of heaven and hell. Written to refute those who deny that there is an eternal life and an eternal damnation, it draws heavily on the Scriptures and on patristic doctrine, especially the works of Augustine and Jerome. The Appendix by Ruth Magnusson Davis shows how post-Reformation Bible translators have changed the Scriptures to weaken or even deny traditional doctrine. Especially, Davis reveals how the 1894 Revised Version used the transliteration "Sheol" to change the teachings of the Old Testament. Coverdale would be pleased to see his work brought to light again to refute moderns who deny the traditional doctrine of heaven and hell.
Autorenporträt
Myles Coverdale was co-translator of the 1537 Matthew Bible along with William Tyndale. It might well be said that he contributed more to the English Reformation than any other man. He gave England her first printed English Bible, known as the 1535 Coverdale Bible, which was licensed for use in the English Church in 1536. He contributed over half of the translations of the 1537 Matthew Bible, and was also chief editor of the Great Bible (1539-1540). He published several of his own books and essays. He also translated some of the best works of the European Reformers, including the writings of Otho Wermullerus, from whom this work is taken, and Martin Luther. Coverdale lived many years in Germany and spoke German fluently.
