King James Bible Text for Your Use
During King James I's reign from 1603 A.D. to 1625 A.D., he commissioned an English translation of the Bible from a committee of fifty-four translators. This significant undertaking produced the "Authorized Version," in 1611, later known as the "King James Bible." James intended for the Authorized Version to replace the popular Geneva translation, although it took some time for its influence to take hold.
The large folio book of the King James Bible also contained a variety of informational materials, including a note on the translation, a map of the Holy Land, a full calendar of the church year, and an extensive genealogical chart from Adam and Eve to Christ.
First printed by the King's Printer, Robert Barker, this was the third official translation into English; the first having been the "Great Bible" commissioned by the Church of England in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second having been the Bishop's Bible of 1568. King James I of England held a meeting in January 1604 at Hampton Court, where the idea of making a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England.
