A thorough examination, first published in 1884, of the King James Bible, including the history of its various editions.

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 R. Kohlenberger III FEATURES - Original preface and translators' notes - Alfred Pollard's classic essay on pre-1611 English translations and the history of the Authorized Version - New essays on the enduring impact of the KJV and the Apocrypha - Handsome page design with decorative initials - Page-edge gilding and ribbon marker (genuine leather only) - Clear type is convenient to read and reference - Special logo on book spine and packaging commemorates the 400th Anniversary - Includes the Apocrypha
