My wonderful wife has a found a book written by Ron Rhodes. It is called "The Complete Guide to BIBLE TRANSLATIONS". I have not written a post in a while because I am reading it. It confers with all the information I have thus far and adds a little more. The good thing about published work instead of online articles and even wiki is the work has already been reviewed by his peers. Hopefully we will not be able to find any discrepancies in his work. I will read and bring up interesting notes and when I get to the translations we will answer the questions we have set out to do.
Interesting information already is the amount of persecution the early translators into English received. Wycliffe although was not killed his body was exhumed and burned and his ashes thrown into a river. William Tyndale however was strangled and then burned at the stake.

Praise the Lord for using these men to bring us a translation we can read and understand. That is in no way a affirmation of their translation only a acknowledgement of their sacrifice.
