EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in history when King Athelstan of England ordered the translation of the Bible into English. Dating back to circa 935, this significant event marked a turning point in the accessibility of religious texts to the English-speaking population.
The image captures Athelstan, known for his contributions to education and culture, as he issues the command for this groundbreaking translation. His decision not only promoted literacy among his subjects but also fostered a deeper understanding and connection to their faith.
As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are reminded of the power of language and its ability to unite people through shared beliefs and values. The publication of an English version of the Bible was a monumental achievement that paved the way for future translations and interpretations.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the impact of Athelstan's orders on religious practice and cultural development. It serves as a testament to his legacy as a ruler who valued knowledge and sought to empower his people through access to sacred texts.
In studying this image, we are inspired by Athelstan's vision and dedication to making the Word accessible to all, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to shape our understanding of religion and history today.
