Nathan Gilmour moderates a conversation with David Grubbs and Michial Farmer about the King James Bible, which has its 400th anniversary this year. From its literary influence to its translation philosophy, our discussion pays homage to one of the true literary monuments of the English language. Among the texts, authors, and topics discussed are the King James Bible (of course), Lord Byron, The Book of Mormon, Walt Whitman, dynamic equivalence, formal equivalence, metaphors in poetry, and 19th-century American religions.
