Who made the kind James Bible?

Answer 1

The Authorized King James Version of the Bible is a translation of the Christian Bible that was begun in 1604 and eventually published in 1611 by the Church of England. It was originally printed by Robert barker, printer to the King (James 1st of England and 6th of Scotland) This was the third official translation of the Bible into English; the first having been the Great Bible commissioned again by the newly formed Church of England in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second being the Bishop's Bible of 1568. There were earlier translations into English, of course, the first being that of Wycliffe in 1382, but his translation was banned in 1409 because of his association with the Lollards, a group that spoke out against (and not without good reason) perceived corruption in the Church . In January 1604 King James convened a conference at Hampton Court near London, where a new English version was decided upon because of some objections to some passages in earlier translations that offended the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England, as they thought the specific passages poorly translated. The king gave the translators instructions to guarantee that the new version would conform to the new church of England doctrines, which were different from the Roman Church as this church, the king believed, had become corrupt and had adopted certain beliefs that were contrary to God's original plan, and the doctrines of the early Christians. The translation was undertaken by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. As with most other contemporary translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from the "Testus Receptus" (Received Text) series of the original Greek texts. The Old Testament was was translated from the masoretic Text Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha was translated from the Greek Septuagint (LXX), except for 2 Esdras, which was translated from the Latin Vulgate. Nowadays, because of the difficulty in understanding some of the archaic words of the King James version of the Bible, more modern translations are used more frequently, especially the New International Version, the Good News Bible and the New King James Version. However, the King James version is still much used especially in the evangelical wing of the church in America, as well as in many other protestant Christian churches across the world.
