The Adventure of English Season 1 Episode 3 The Battle for the Language of the Bible 2003
8.2/10 by 4 users
This is the story of how English became the battleground in the fight for men's souls. The medieval church establishment kept the Bible in Latin, while those possessing an English translation risked death. We see the impact of printing on the English language, and how that fixed many of the anomalies of spelling and grammar that still make English so difficult for students to learn.
