发帖数: 98 | 1 In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the
Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after
the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale,
1526). The Authorized Version, or King James Version, quickly became the
standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose
rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 300 years.
The King James Version present on the Bible Gateway matches the 1987
printing. The KJV is public domain in the United States. |
