Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Shortly after inheriting the throne of England in the midst of violent religious strife, King James I called together the country's leading churchmen and theologians at Hampton Court, "for the hearing, and for the determining, of things pretended to be amiss in the Church."

Out of that conference came the memorable decision to commission a new translation of the Holy Scriptures. King James I eagerly approved the idea in the hope that this new translation might help avert civil war by uniting the religious factions within his country. The uniform translation, since called the "King James Version," dramatically affected the course of development of the English-speaking world.

Nelson's reprint of the King James Version of the Bible is a faithful reproduction of the original text set in modern typeface for better readability. The decorative initials and border designs are from a 1911 edition.

Product Description

The world's most beloved Bible in a special reproduction of the original text of the 1611 edition. The King James Version used today is a 1769 edition, not the classic 1611edition which is reproduced here and available exclusively through Thomas Nelson.

5.0 out of 5 stars This bible is a wonderful reprint of the KJV 1611 edition., December 26, 1997
By A Customer
This King James Version is a word-for-word reprint of the orginial 1611 edition. This bible includes the orginal marginal notes, the "Translators to the Reader" preface and the apocryphal books that have been taken out by modern publishers. So why don't you find out what has been removed for YOUR KJV by buying this glorious reprint?

5.0 out of 5 stars I heartily recommend it!, November 10, 1999
By A Customer
This is a wonderful copy of the old King James text replete with early 17th century spelling, ie., "byt yf ye be obeyssant to our Lorde the Kynge", that sort of thing. The Holy Scriptures are, without a doubt, the most important and influential writings known to man. Absolutely indispensable for one's salvation. Don't trust others tell you what is in the Bible. Men prefer to lie and manipulate the Scriptures to suit themselves. Get your own copy and discern for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reprint of the 1611 King James Bible!, April 27, 2002
By "moviefanatic" (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
BOOK REVIEW:

This 1611 Edition of the King James Version of the Bible is just like the modern edition but with old spelling and some things that are not found in the modern edition. As a comparison, these are the openings of the book of Matthew between the two editions:

(BEGIN COMPARISON)

--Modern Edition--

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW

1 THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

--1611 Edition--

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO S.Matthew

C H A P. I.

1 The genealogie of Christ from Abraham to Ioseph. 18 Hee was conceiued by the holy Ghost, and borne of the Virgin Mary when she was espoused to Ioseph. 19 The Angel satisfieth the misdeeming thoughts of Ioseph, and interpreteth the names of Christ.

T H E booke of the * generation of Iesus Christ , the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.

(END COMPARISON)

Here are some pros and cons for this 1611 Edition:

--Pros--

- In addition to the Old Testament and the New Testament, the Apochrypha is also in here
- The old spelling, punctuation, and grammar is in this edition
- The text is set at modern type, so it can be read easily
- There are some footnotes at the sides
- The Bible is in hardcover.

--Cons--

- The pages are too thin; it seems like they can be wrinkled very easily
- The words are small
- The words of Jesus Christ are not in red letters--this is NOT a Red Letter Edition
- Quotes are opened with star symbol (i.e. *) but no * symbol is used to close the quote; this might make it hard for some readers, like myself, to know where one particular quote ends
- This edition is expensive; I recommend getting it through Amazon.com,...

Overall, I recommend this Edition--what a great reprint!
