The KJV Bible

Tuesday, January 5, 2010 @ 09:01 AM HisGoodBook

kjv20bible20crossIn 1604, King James I of England gave translators instructions to retranslate the various books of the bible and compile a new version.  In 1611, the labors of several years were realized and the KJV Bible was created.  This Bible was conceived in response to problems of inaccuracies in earlier translations, and is hailed to this day as one of the most exact translations.  The translators of the King James Bible used original scriptures written in Hebrew and Greek as their sources for the translations, and compiled both the Old Testament, New Testament, and Apocrypha.

The King James Bible is often the choice for studies of literature conducted at universities, and for bible study.  In terms of sales, there are more copies of the King James Bible today than most any other printed book throughout history.
