520			_aScapegoats, Shambles and Shibboleths: The Queen’s English from the King James Bible by Martin Manser explores how the King James Version of the Bible has deeply influenced everyday English language and expressions. The book explains the origins and meanings of many common phrases such as “apple of one’s eye,” “holier than thou,” and “in the twinkling of an eye,” showing that many widely used sayings come directly from Biblical texts.
