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

The King James Version of the Bible has been compared to Martin Luther's Bible written about a hundred years earlier in German and was translated from Greek and Hebrew. The King James Bible was based on both Greek and other translations by others. This comparison and that they were both printed on the earlier printing press validates the comparisons. Since it's inception in 1611, the Bible has undergone three revisions with many words added. Luther had published his German translation of the New Testament in 1522, and he and his collaborators completed the translation of the Old Testament in 1534, when the whole Bible was published. Others had translated the Bible into German, but Luther tailored his translation to his own doctrine. He is dealing with the main point of Christian doctrine, namely, that we are justified by faith in Christ without any works of the Law. The King James Version, also known as the King James Bible or simply the Authorized Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha (most of which correspond to books in the Vulgate Deuterocanon adhered to by Roman Catholics), and the 27 books of the New Testament. Protestant Bibles in the 16th century included the books of the Apocrypha - generally, following the Luther Bible. This book "Four Centuries of English Bible, 1611-2017" is written in celebration of the Reformation movement in Germany which took place 500 years ago. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was the name associated with the movement. He was an Augustinian monk and university lecturer in Wittenberg when he composed his "95 Theses," which protested the Catholic Pope's sale of reprieves from penance, or indulgences. This book was originally written by F. T. Tagg and was edited from the first edition in 1911 of the book titled "The Ter-century of the Authorized Version of the English Bible, 1611 -1911."
