About the book

The King James Bible is the English translation of the Bible made under King James I of England, who approved the plan for it in 1604. About fifty scholars, working in groups at Westminster, Oxford and Cambridge, prepared it, and it was first published in 1611. For centuries it was the most widely read Bible in English, and many of its phrases have passed into everyday speech and literature.
