The Holy Bible

6B Old and New Testament. London: John Baskett, 1718.

Notes

The year 1718 doesn't mark a specific event related to the Old or New Testament itself, but it falls within a period of scholarly and theological study of both scriptures. During this time, biblical scholarship was advancing with new insights into historical context, textual criticism, and theological interpretation of the Old and New Testaments. The 18th century saw significant contributions to biblical studies, shaping how these texts are understood and interpreted in both religious and academic contexts.
