What is lineage?
When this guide lists an earlier English Bible in a translation’s lineage field, we show that relationship. It is a historical listing from this guide, not a claim that one Bible is the only parent of another.
Why does it matter?
It helps show how English Bible translations build on, revise, or reference earlier translation work — according to the listings in this guide, not a ranking of accuracy.
