Kenneth Taylor Papers

Collection — Container: Books

Identifier: SC-012

Staff Only

Scope and Contents

The collection (about 10 linear feet) consists primarily of various drafts, revisions, and dictaphone tapes concerning the development of the Living Bible and the Taylor's Bible Story Book. The boxes are arranged chronologically, representing the order in which each section was completed. Most of the biblical books went through several revisions before a final translation was accepted. Since it was difficult to determine whether a given revision was the "1st revision," "2nd revision," etc, it was decided to simply label the files "revision." Each revision follows from the previous file.
