Fires of Faith: The coming forth of the King James Bible

For those who may not know, I really love history, especially the history of the Bible. There is a new documentary series airing on BYU TV on the 16th of this month. It will be aired in three parts and is called " Fires of Faith: The Coming Forth of the King James Bible."
"To create this documentary, more than 130 reenactments were filmed in eight countries at many of the actual sites where the original events took place—from a fourth-century monastery in Israel to an 800-year-old English castle to a 500-year-old European church. Commentary by 18 international scholars and religious leaders throughout the film reveal differing perspectives while still confirming that the King James Bible’s influence is immeasurable." The three-part series, Fires of Faith: The Coming Forth of the King James Bible, follows the complex history of the book—the sacrifice of countless people to bring it to pass, its violent beginnings, changes over time, and its influence the world over today. At the forefront of the history is British religious scholar William Tyndale, who was responsible for the original translations that make up more than 80 percent of the Bible’s text."
I am really excited about this! It should very interesting. So for all of you out there like me, who love to read the Bible, this might actually broaden our perspective on it's history.
