About the 1611 King James Bible
The King James Version (KJV), also known as the King James Bible (KJB) or the Authorized Version (AV), is an English translation commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI and I. With 39 Old Testament books, an intertestamental section, 14 Apocrypha books, and 27 New Testament books, the KJV is known for its majestic style and significant influence on English culture and the English-speaking world.
A Historical Milestone
Originally printed by John Norton & Robert Barker, both the King's Printer, the KJV was the third English translation approved by English Church authorities. It followed the Great Bible of King Henry VIII (1535) and the Bishops' Bible of Queen Elizabeth I (1568). Influenced by the Geneva Bible (1560), produced by Protestant Reformers in Switzerland, the KJV aimed to address issues perceived by the Puritans.
A Translation of Excellence
King James convened the Hampton Court Conference in January 1604, where a new English version was conceived. This translation adhered to the Church of England's ecclesiology and episcopal structure. The work was undertaken by 47 leading biblical scholars in England, dividing the translation task among six panels. The Old Testament was translated from Hebrew and Aramaic, the New Testament from Greek, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin.
