"...Commissioned by King James of England in 1604 and completed seven years later, this English-language translation that bears his name is celebrating the 400th anniversary of its publication this year. Also known as the Authorized Version in the Anglican Church and some Protestant circles, this translation remains a favourite because of its poetic language and familiar renditions of passages such as Psalm 23 and the Lord's Prayer."Now in the public domain, the King James Version is available cheaply in a print version or free online at sites such as www.biblegateway.com.
The Christian Bible is the most widely read book in the entire world.
