King james bible
1.The Authorized Version, commonly known as the King James Version, King James
Bible or KJV. English translation of Christian Bible. Translation began by the church of england in
1604 and completed in 1611. It was the third official translation into english. The first was the great
bible which was made during the reign of kind henry VIII and the second was bishops bible. They
started making the new version in 1604 because the puritans(a factino within the church of england)
perceived (detected)problems with earlier translations.
2.The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of who were members of the Church of
England. The New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated
from Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha were translated from the Greek and Latin. Over the course of
the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of
scripture for English speaking scholars.
