The National Gallery (Author) The National Gallery in London has been bringing people and paintings together for more than two hundred years. It rightfully holds an unrivalled position as a gallery for all the people, while the King James Bible has for more than four hundred years held its place as a sacred text that everyone can read and enjoy. A gallery for all and a Bible for all. Philip Law (In-House Editor) Philip Law is Publishing Director for SPCK and Lion Books. His previous books include The One Hour Bible (SPCK, 2018), A Time to Pray: 365 classic prayers to help you through the year (Lion, 2002) and The SPCK Book of Christian Prayer (SPCK/Crossroad, 1995/ 2009).

'To place so much great art back in its original narrative setting is a great and useful thing; it will inspire many ""ah yes!"" revelations. More, to have these stories in the words of the King James Bible, one the greatest masterpieces of English prose, produces a volume which (like a good gallery) is to be lingered over and revisited time and time again.' -- From the foreword by Andrew Marr, Cultural Trustee, the National Gallery, London
