King James Version (KJV)
(1611) The most popular translation ever produced, this Bible was done
during the reign and at the urging of King James the First of England.
47 scholars, divided into 6 groups, worked on this translation. Based
largely on the Bishop's Bible, many Hebrew and Greek texts were also
studied as well as all other available English translations, to insure
the best results. By choosing men of many different theological and
educational backgrounds, it was hoped individual prejudices of the
translators could be minimized. Printed in a handy size and in clear
type, the KJV was supposed to please clergy and congregation alike.
Despite initial resistance, the KJV became and still is the largest
selling translation of the Bible.
