I take it that the congregation of a small rural church has no great 
interest in theories or aspects  of translations in general but _would_ be 
interested in how the English texts they hold in their  hands came about.

Which is why I strongly advocate having a look at:
Bruce, F.F. A History of the Bible in English. 3rd. Ed. Cambridge: 
Lutterworth, 1979.
