Authorized Version King James Bible [Bible for kobo]

The use of Authorized Version, capitalised and used as a name, is found as early as 1814.For some time before this, descriptive phrases such as "our present, and only publicly authorised version" (1783),"our Authorized version" (1792),and "the authorized version" (1801, uncapitalised) are found. The Oxford English Dictionary records a usage in 1824.In Britain, the 1611 translation is generally known as the "Authorized Version" today.

The version we have today has remained almost unchanged since the 19th century and is exclusively used everywhere in the Protestant world. It has had a huge impact on English literature over the four hundred odd years of its life and its literary and lyrical qualities have been praised by people of all religions.

Apart from being a sacred text, it has immense cultural and literary value. Thousands of phrases, idioms and usages from the KJV have found their way into everyday communication in English. It has added to the richness and depth of the language across the centuries and inspired millions of writers, artists, poets and musicians to create beautiful and enduring works.

Truly a magnificent and memorable read for people of any age or faith."
