Description:

Join Rosa Hunt as she journeys to the breathtaking St Davids Cathedral to uncover the remarkable story of a book that changed a nation - the 1588 William Morgan Welsh Bible. Often credited with standardising and even saving the Welsh language, this historic translation is more than just one of many - it’s a cultural cornerstone.

We speak with Library Development Officer Mari James and the Dean of St Davids, the Very Revd Dr Sarah Rowland Jones, to explore the Bible’s legacy and the impact it has had on visitors to the cathedral.

Plus, we hear from Emeritus Professor Wyn James and Bible translator Arfon Jones, who reveal how this single volume helped shape the identity of a people, the future of a language, and the face of faith.
