The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments : Translated Out of the Original Tongues, and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised by His Majesty's Special Command : Appointed to be Read in Churches : Authorized King James Ver

Commissioned by King James I of England and first published in 1611, the Authorized King James Version of the Bible is perhaps the greatest spiritual and literary text of all time, renowned for its poetic qualities and religious resonance. The Collins Iona Clear-type edition is one of the classic Bible settings, and offers great clarity of presentation within the traditional verse by verse layout established over the nearly 400 years of the translation's publication. As such it offers an invaluable continuity in its rendering of this key cultural text. The Holy Bible contains The Old and New Testaments translated out of the original tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised by his Majesty's Special Command.
