Knox did not insist Scots Bible be in English
I refer to Chris McColl's letter (January 30) in which he stated that "John Knox insisted the Bible for the Church of Scotland be printed in English". John Knox died in 1572 and the first Bible to be printed in Scotland was not authorised by the General Assembly until 1575 and was not published until 1579. It was the General Assembly which insisted that this Bible follow the English-language Geneva Bible of 1562.
