Uniting?

The purpose of the translation of the bible, according to James, was to unite the people of England. Due to the hard political moments of the time, there was a need to find a solution, a way to unite the country and keep it stong. What better way of uniting it than having everyone think the same way? If everyone agreed in rleigion, their faith would be stonger. The king had enough problems with the war and din't need disagreements inside his country.
even thoough James' planned seemed to work, it failed. Why did this happen? People of these tmes had already realized there was more to life than just heaven. There were disagreements between the catholic church some time before the translation of the bible, and this made it difficult for the counsel to translate it.
we may all read the same text but it will influence us personally. Everyone faces different things in life and these are the events that end up influencing the way you interpret something. The bible is a text in which interpretation has a big role. People can either interprate it in a very literal way, believing everything that is said happend and others who see it as a metaphore to apply on in daily life. Even though it didn't unite the English, and seemed like it didn't full-fill his job, the translation of the bible helps us today to understand and interprate it personally.
