Description
The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testament King James Version is a translation of the Christian Bible into English, originally published in 1611. It is considered one of the most influential and widely-read English translations of the Bible.
The King James Version (KJV) is a formal equivalence translation, meaning that it seeks to reproduce the original text as literally as possible while still rendering it into readable English. The translation was commissioned by King James I of England and was completed by a group of scholars who were appointed by the king and known as the “King James Bible translators”.
The Old Testament of the KJV contains 39 books, beginning with Genesis and ending with Malachi. It tells the story of the Hebrew people, their history, laws, and religious beliefs. The New Testament contains 27 books, beginning with Matthew and ending with Revelation. It tells the story of Jesus Christ, his teachings, death, and resurrection, as well as the history of the early Christian church.
The KJV has had a profound influence on English literature, as many writers have drawn inspiration from its language and themes. It is still widely read and used today by Christians of many denominations.
