The Holy Bible King James Version: 1611 Edition

The Holy Bible King James Version: 1611 Edition





400th Anniversary Edition

For 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. No other book has so profoundly influenced our language and our theology. Over time, however, the text has suffered subtle and occasionally troublesome alterations. This edition preserves the original 1611 printing. Word for word and page for page, the text with its original marginal notes, preface, and other introductory material appears as it first did. The sole concession to modernity is a far more readable roman typeface set by nineteenth-century master printers.

"A valuable and essential addition to every Bible library."
--John R. Kohlenberger III
