2011 marks the 400th anniversary of the King James Version—one of the most influential translations of the Bible ever. It shaped the language and thinking of the English-speaking world, and its phrases still resonate in the English lexicon. No other book can demonstrate the deep and lasting impact had by the King James Version of the Holy Bible, also known as the Authorized Version. King James I of England commissioned 54 scholars to create a translation of the Bible into English that would replace the earlier unauthorized version (such as William Tyndale’s translation which eventually came to be collected and adapted as the Geneva Bible.)
This new study Bible brings the KJV into a 21st century context. It features the complete text of the beloved King James Version; more than 6500 study notes and explanatory notes from Barbour’s QuickNotes Simplified Bible Commentary series; introductions to all 66 books; dictionary/concordance for key terms; full-color map section; and the words of Christ in red. And it’s all in a very affordable 19.99 hardback edition (add $10 more for bonded leather edition)
