James H. Morey

James H. Morey is an American academic. He is Professor of English at Emory University.

Morey is a graduate of Hamilton College (A.B. 1983). He holds a Master's (1987) and a Ph.D. (1990) from Cornell University.[1]

Morey's Book and Verse is regarded as the standard work on English Biblical paraphrases.[2][3][4] In it, Morey argues that Biblical material was widely available in English from the 12th-century on, and that the Church's opposition was not to translation per se but to the Lollard encouragement of lay interpretation of the Bible.[5][6]
