The
Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the
Christian Bible begun in 1604 and first published in 1611 by the Church
of England. The Great Bible was the first "authorized version" issued by
the Church of England in the reign of King Henry VIII. In January 1604,
King James I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a
new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems
of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans. The Puritans
were a faction within the Church of England. was the first "authorized
version" issued by the Church of England in the reign of King
The
king gave the translators instructions designed to guarantee that the
new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal
structure of the Church of England and its beliefs about an ordained
clergy. The translation was by 47 scholars, all whom were members of the
Church of England. In common with most other translations of the
period, the New Testament was translated from the Textus Receptus
(Received Text) series of the Greek texts. The Old Testament was
translated from the Masoretic Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha were
translated from the Greek Septuagint (LXX), except for 2 Esdras, which
was translated from the Latin Vulgate. Thus, the Authorized Version
included the Apocrypha.
While
the Authorized Version was meant to replace the Bishops' Bible as the
official version for readings in the Church of England, it was
apparently (unlike the Great Bible) never specifically "authorized",
although it is commonly known as the Authorized Version in the United
Kingdom. However, the King's Printer issued no further editions of the
Bishops' Bible; so necessarily the Authorized Version supplanted it as
the standard lectern Bible in parish church use in England. In the Book
of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the
text of the Great Bible — the Epistle and Gospel readings — and as such
was 'authorized' by Act of Parliament. In the United States, the
Authorized Version is known as the King James Version.
By
the first half of the 18th Century, the Authorized Version was
effectively unchallenged as the sole English translation in current use
in Protestant churches. Over the course of the 18th Century, the
Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version
of scripture for English speaking scholars.
