a
reference to an edition of an
English version of the
Bible prepared in
England under
King James I (1566-1625). In 1604, at a
conference of churchmen, it was requested that the
Bible be revised as it was
thought existing translations were corrupt and at variance with the original.
King James I took on the
project and approved approximately fifty revisers to
work on it. It was finally published in 1611 as the
King James Version. Since this
time, various revisions of this
Bible have been made.
