About the King James Version of the Bible

This is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England completed in 1611. 47 scholars translated the work from the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts. This translation was selected for the course for a few reasons; it sounds more poetic than other translations even though it may not be as literal a translation as some others from the source material and this one is in the Public Domain, so it’s free!
