The Bible: King James Version (KJV) Paperback / softback
Paperback / softback
Description
This full text edition of the ever-popular Authorised King James Version Bible includes both the Old and New Testaments, with all its literary beauty and poetic grandeur.
Presented in a white and de-bossed foil cover, it is the cornerstone of the William Collins 200-year anniversary celebration. William Collins began his publishing business in Glasgow City Centre in 1819 and then gained the licence to print the KJV in 1839.
A popular best-seller for centuries, Collins has sold over 1 million gift Bibles of this version alone.
The KJV has been entwined with our language and culture for decades and remains a powerful foundation of the Church today, connecting us to our past as we bring the word of God to life in the present and for future generations. 'It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the King James Bible and its impact on the English-speaking world.
Scripture in the vernacular, available widely, one authorised translation to shape the Church, a translation mandated by the king, tying together Church and State. And beyond all practical details, a beautiful, poetic, majestic translation that has stood the test of time.
The King James Bible is a wonderful work of literature, and the bedrock of the English language.' The Most Revd and Rt Hon Justin WelbyArchbishop of Canterbury (Extract from Foreward)
