For the class field trip, I went to The Life and Legacy of the King James Bible, as my other group members Tanner and Montana have as well.
I found myself rather amazed by the history of the Bible itself. From the original Latin Vulgate version to the final translation of the King James Bible, the history is full of drama, enough to probably create a long running series if one were made.
"All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars." Charles A. Beard
