Bible (Fenton) 08, 13-14, 16-22, 25, 27: Holy Bible in Modern English, The: Psalms to 2 Chronicles

The Holy Bible in Modern English, known as the Ferrar Fenton Bible, is a translation of the Bible into modern English initiated by Ferrar Fenton in 1853 and first published in full in 1903. Fenton aimed to convey the original meanings of the texts, translating directly from Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek, while also rearranging the books into a chronological order he deemed correct. Notably, he restored the Psalms to their original musical verse form, emphasizing their nature as songs. Fenton's work is significant for its early attempt at making the Bible accessible in contemporary language.
