King James Version

The King James Version, more commonly called the Authorised Version in the United Kingdom, is an English translation of the Bible. The New Testament portion of this version was translated from the Textus Receptus, or Received Text, edition of the original Greek texts. The KJV has had a profound effect on English literature, inspiring many famous authors and playwrights. Though King James was not directly involved in the creation of the Bible, his authorization was necessary for the translation to be written and later used by the Church of England. Based heavily upon a New Testament translation written by William Tyndale in 1525, the King James Version was first published in 1611.
