The Holy Bible (King James Version) is the most widely read and historically influential English translation of the Christian scriptures, celebrated for its majestic prose and its formative influence on English language and literature. The KJV encompasses the Old Testament (shared with the Hebrew Bible), the New Testament recording the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, and in some editions the Apocrypha. It has been the bedrock of Christian faith and practice for over four centuries and remains a treasure of world spiritual literature.
