Acclaimed author Adam Nicolson discusses his landmark book, God’s Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible. One of the most amazing works of English prose ever produced, the King James Bible was not the product of one genius, but rather a group of some fifty scholars and clergymen (many from Cambridge). Nicolson examines the intriguing question of how the best-selling and arguably most influential English language book of all time could have been created by a committee of relative unknowns, and explores the politics and history surrounding its genesis. <p>Adam Nicolson, writer and grandson of Vita Sackville West, received the Somerset Maugham Award for his earlier work, Frontiers. Other books include Wetland? Life in the Somerset Levels, Restoration, and Sea Room. Currently, he is a columnist for the London Daily Telegraph.
