400th Anniversary Edition
For 400 years, the Authorized Version of the Bible--popularly known as the King
James Version--has been beloved for its majestic phrasing and stately cadences.
No other book has so profoundly influenced our language and our theology. Over
time, however, the text has suffered subtle and occasionally troublesome
alterations. This edition preserves the original 1611 printing. Word for word
and page for page, the text with its original marginal notes, preface, and other
introductory material appears as it first did. The sole concession to modernity
is a far more readable roman typeface set by nineteenth-century master printers.
"A valuable and essential addition to every Bible library."
--John
