Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the 1611 King James Version Bible
For
over 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 attractive edition preserves the original 1611 edition. Word for word and page for page, the text with its original marginal notes, preface ("The Translators to the Reader"), and other introductory material appear as they first did. The sole concession to modernity is a far more readable roman typeface set by nineteenth-century master printers. Elegantly bound with old-world quality craftsmanship, this is the perfect edition of the incomparable King James Version for study and for sheer enjoyment.
