Holy David: And His Old English Translators Cleared is a book written by John Johnson and published in 1706. The book is a study of the translations of the Psalms from Hebrew into Old English, particularly those of King David. Johnson examines the various translations of the Psalms, comparing them to the original Hebrew text and analyzing the differences and similarities between them. He also provides a historical and linguistic context for the translations, discussing the Old English language and the cultural and religious context in which they were produced. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Old English literature and language, as well as those interested in the history of biblical translation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
John Johnson
John R. Johnson's journey from New Canton, Virginia, to the bustling streets of Washington, D.C., has shaped a unique perspective that informs his extensive body of work. Arriving in the District at age six, John became a product of the D.C. educational system-from elementary school through to his graduation from the University of the District of Columbia with a degree in Electrical Engineering.
His thirst for knowledge later led him to the University of Maryland University College, where he earned a second degree in Paralegal Studies. This rare combination of engineering logic and legal insight provides the backbone for his disciplined approach to the craft of writing.
Though he began writing in 1985, John entered a highly productive era in 2012, since which he has self-published 18 books. A true "Renaissance man," John balances his literary life with a passion for the visual and performing arts, often finding inspiration in museums, film, and world travel. He is also a lifelong enthusiast of horseback riding and photography, hobbies that allow him to capture the quiet moments between his next great chapter
