We are, first and foremost, grateful to the speakers at the 2016 Wheaton Theology Conference for their careful and stimulating work. We also owe heartfelt gratitude to many others whose work, support, and encouragement made the conference possible. We particularly thank Paula Anderson for her skillful oversight of the many logistical details of the conference. Numerous Wheaton undergraduate and graduate students provided helpful assistance to conference presenters and attenders. Wheaton librarian Brittany Adams organized a wonderful exhibit of the Oxley Familys Rare English Bibles Collection. Soprano Dawn Holt Lauber led worship with Tony Payne of Wheatons Conservatory of Music, and she performed a selection of J. S. Bach arias and solo cantatas with pianist and Wheaton emeritus professor William Phemister. Members of the Wheaton student drama company, Arena Theater, provided dramatic readings of biblical passages from the King James Version. We are grateful for Rev. David Foxgrovers leading of a workshop for pastors considering ways for churches to mark the five hundredth anniversary of the Reformation by reflecting on the Bible and culture today.
The conference and this volume are possible only because of the rich and ongoing partnership between the Wheaton Theology Conference and InterVarsity Press. We are once again grateful to IVP for their advice, guidance, and support. In this his last year at the helm of IVP, we owe a special thanks to publisher Bob Fryling for his generosity and insight that made this conference, along with many prior conferences, move from initial planning stages to fruitful execution. We are also grateful to David McNutt and David Congdon, associate editors at IVP Academic, for their care and oversight of many of the details of the conference and publication process of the volume. We are grateful for the leadership of Jeffrey Bingham, associate dean of the biblical and theological studies department at Wheaton. Finally, we wish to express our thanks to Philip G. Ryken, president, and Jill Pelez Baumgaertner, dean of humanities and theological studies, for their continual support and attention to fostering theological scholarship at Wheaton College.
In 1534 King Henry VIII declared himself to be Supreme Head of the Church of England according to his groundbreaking Act of Supremacy. The Erastian reform that transpired by all accounts made little effort to align with Protestantism in the truest sense of the term, and perhaps this dynamic is no better evident than in the treatment of the first authorized English translation of the Bible. In 1539 the Great Bible was published with royal patronage, a first for its lineage. The Holbein frontispiece, a section of which graces the cover of this volume and which greeted the reader of the Great Bible, strikingly illustrates the complexity of denoting the Bible as the peoples book during the Reformation era (see fig. 1).
Much scholarly attention has been given to exploring the way in which Henry VIII refashioned the image of his reign in the wake of his Act of Supremacy and by the time of the emergence of the Great Bible. Known previously for his strict censorship policies against English books (i.e., Protestant literature), Henry began to make allowances for the licensing of the English Bible. Scholar Richard Rex explains:
It was the patronage and encouragement of the Henrician regime after the break with Rome that gave the vernacular Bible its central place in the English church.... Once Henry had detached the Church of England from the jurisdiction of the pope... official attitudes rapidly swung round, largely thanks to the influence of Cranmer and Cromwellan influence which was manifestly Protestant rather than Erasmian.
That same year, Holbeins depiction of Henry for the Great Bible presented a Reformation king without equivocation as he handed the Bible down the ranks, reaching one station after the other. Normally, a dedication portrait depicts the patron as receiving a copy of the book from the author or translator, but in this depiction Henry is the one handing the
