400th Anniversary EditionFor 400 years, the Authorized Version of the Bible popularly known as the King James Version has been beloved for its majestic phrasing and stately cadences.

This is a good resource for those who study the history of the Bible, particularly the history of the English translations. Much of the language is of course very antiquated, made even more so because the original translators kept a great deal of the syntax and spelling from the Bishop's Bible, setting it back another fifty years or so.

This is the Bible that I use, and I highly recommend it. It has a great deal of very complicated and controversial history behind it, and because of its fascinating origins, it's in my opinion one of the most notable versions to study. (

This translation is originally from 4th. c. "family" MSS translations by Lucian (Antioch), a William Tyndale work mostly, but revised by the Bishops of the Church, and is still the only version approved by Brit Parliament, and endorsed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Has many printing errors that were corrected in later editions to 18th. c. Beautiful Bible, easy to read, the translators notes are very good. Everyone shold have this version so that you can see how modern KJV Bibles have been mutilated by the removal of the chapter summaries, translators notes and the Apocrypha. This is a photo facsimile printing by Hendrikson Pub. and very well done. I have two copies, one signed by the Bishop of Rochester (Kent, UK). (

When people tell me that they only use the KJV, I am prone to tell them that the KJV Bible they are reading is not the KJV that was issued in 1611, and that if they had to use the 1611 edition, they would not be able to understand it. Until I looked into this volume, I was not aware that the publisher had included study helps and cross-references as a standard feature of the AV Bible submitted to King James for his consideration.

What to say about the Bible? And I can't rate it, either--what would the criteria be? This isn't the same edition that I own, but that one could not be found by Amazon--I actually prefer New International Version. (
