Marking the 400 year anniversary of the Authorized Version of the English Bible--better known to many readers across the globe as the King James Version--this is the remarkable story of one of the most influential works ever published in the English language.
It is the story of politics as well as religion; of supremely talented translators; of printers' errors, accidental and deliberate; of changing fortunes and changing beliefs down the centuries; of fierce arguments over revisions to the text; of a Bible that has known both adulation and depreciation.
Campbell follows the twists and turns of an extraordinary work, right up to the present day.
