The King James Bible, originally published in 1611, stands as one of the most influential translations of the Bible into English. Commissioned by King James I of England, it brought together scholars and theologians to produce a definitive English version that has shaped English literature and religious thought for centuries. The 1799 edition, though not substantially different in content from the original, represents a milestone in the history of its dissemination and influence across English-speaking cultures worldwide. Its majestic prose and enduring impact continue to resonate deeply within both religious and literary traditions.
