# The King James Version of the Bible

By Anonymous.

"The King James Version of the Bible" is an English translation of the Christian Bible commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611 under King James VI and I. This translation for the Church of England contains 80 books and was created to address controversies surrounding existing versions. Celebrated for its majestic style, it has profoundly shaped English literature, Christian thought, and everyday speech for over four centuries. The translation became the unchallenged standard in English Protestant churches and remains one of the most widely read versions today. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
