Dang, talk about Cool Old Stuff! My #2 son, although his name is Thomas Jackson, had Thomas Becket for his saint until he picked Athanasius (contra mundum) when he was confirmed.

Almost as good as finding my hero, Richard the Third’s prayer which he read before leading his cavalry charge at Bosworth Field!

Richard III’s prayer for victory. I’m not opining on his personal salvation, of course.

No, it didn’t save him; it wasn’t about saving him anymore than Thomas A Becket’s prayer was about saving him. It was about saving their souls not their bodies. Richard’s prayer was written by his personal priest and is quite beautiful. I gave it to my mother when she was dying - she was a Ricardian, as I am.

Was it in Latin? Old English? French? Early Middle English?

It was about saving their souls not their bodies. Good point. I would love to meet them both!

That would be neat, but my real question is, did he write the five books of the Bible attributed to him? If so, I have a lot of questions!

Someday, we will all sit around in the library - like in the Floating Castle - and I will to Louis L'Amour, "Look here! In this book you said this, which is inconsistent with what you said in this other book," and he will either resolve the apparent inconsistency, or he will say, "Look, hon, the publisher didn't care. Consistency is the bugaboo of small minds ... have another drink!"

The specific authors, such as Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, etc., will tell us exactly what they meant.

What will the Bibles place be in Heaven? Psalm 119:89
"For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."

2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
"That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
