Swordsman's Notes
With the death of Queen Elizabeth I, Prince James VI of Scotland became King James I of England. The Protestant clergy approached the new King in 1604 and announced their desire for a new translation to replace the Bishop's Bible first printed in 1565. They knew that the Geneva Version had won the hearts of the people because of its excellent scholarship, accuracy, and exhaustive commentary; however, they did not want the controversial marginal notes (proclaiming the Pope an Anti-Christ; etc.) Essentially, the leaders of the church desired a Bible for the people, with scriptural references only for word clarification when multiple meanings were possible. This "translation to end all translations" became the most printed book in the history of the world. In fact, for around 250 years- until the appearance of the Revised Version of 1881-the King James Version reigned without rival. Own a piece of original Bible histoy.

Product Description

In January 1604, King James I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version of the Holy Bible was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England. These problems included Psalm 28, the Great Bible stated, 'They were not disobedient,' where as the corrected translation was 'They were not obedient.' Completed by the Kings printer Robert Barker in 1611, this King James Bible brings about a whole new look to the Holy Bible. With Daily reading schedules, and extensive Biblical family trees, this bible covers everything and anything. Under strict restrictions from King James, the translators formed a Bible that soon became the Holy Bible that was found on the Pulpit of the Church of England, replacing its predecessor the Bishop's Bible. From the original woodblock printing, we have created an exact reproduction of the original King James Bible. The King James version is the most printed book in history, boasting over 1 billion copies in print, but this 1611 reproduction lets you experience this great work in its original form.
