I didn't say the bible had no effect on modern english, i said the first copies were not written in english or german, which it wasn't. Furthermore, as you yourself pointed out, it was the invention of the printing press had as much an effect on English as the Bible, as well as the increase of longer distance trading in england/german and throughout europe. Versions of the bible were written in english, as MoltkeWarding took the time out to search the encyclopedia for, but in no way is the King James version of the bible the first, or only bible. Check your encyclopedia for what languages various scriptures and texts of the books of the old testament was written in? | ||
