Publisher's summary

Experience one of the most used translations of the Bible in this unabridged presentation of the King James Version of the Bible.

The King James Version was written in 1611 by order of King James I as the official translation for the Church of England. The version was created to eliminate any errors in previous translations, and to put the book into common language useful for all people. The book was translated from Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. The version was re-edited in 1769 and has remained largely untouched for the centuries after.

For many modern Christian denominations, the King James Version remains the preferred English translation of biblical texts. Though the language is more formal than modern English, the formality gives a certain weight to the contents, and the translation is still regarded as being remarkably close to the original meanings of the text.

This audiobook contains both the Old and New Testaments, which together chronicle the foundations, history, and theology of the Christian church. The book is comprised of 66 individual books, each with a unique history, authorship, and context.

Powerful message coming from a powerful voice.

The Bible is the greatest story to ever be told. One day his words will set our soul free.

Dry and purely historical

This is a book that is very dry and purely historical in nature. It is not written as a defense of the King James version Bible being the true Word of God. It is only about the process of putting the King James Bible together and protocols that were followed.

One of the Top 5 Audio Bibles

I like how one of the top narrated audio bibles is hidden in a little corner, badly advertised and badly organized. Alas, very good recording, easy to listen too, and kjv is a bonus. Closer to an audio book narrator than radio announcer voice, which I prefer. The microphone could be a little higher quality, but not too bad. Narrators voice is a good balance, not too asmr. Get this narrator a raise! Brilliant reading of psalms.

Great Narration

Index should have broke down the chapters to make it easier to follow along with the Bible.
