The King James “authorized” version of the Bible has been the number one translation used by English-speaking people all over the world. Many consider the commissioning of his “Authorized” Version of the Bible to be the crowning achievement of King James the VI and I.

After its publication, the King James version over shadowed all previous versions of the Bible. It is still the best-selling book of all time. Today, as well as then, there were and is a considerable number of versions available, but for most of the protestant Christians the King James Bible of 1611 is the absolute infallible word of God.

Charlton Heston said in his autobiography...

“…the King James Translation has been described as the only great work of art every created by a committee… The authors of several boring translations that have followed over the last fifty years mumble that the KJV is difficult and filled with long words…Over the past several centuries it’s been the single book in most households an enormous force in shaping the development of the English Language. Carried around the world by missionaries…Exploring it…was one of the most rewarding creative experiences of my life.”

The “Authorized” Bible has been read by the Protestant Church the world over. Sir Winston Churchill said...

“…the scholars who produced this masterpiece are mostly unknown and unremembered. But they forged an enduring link, Literary and religious, between the English-Speaking people of the world.

It is my choice of Bibles also, I have studied it extensively and found it to be very inspiring, refreshing, and enlightening. But, I also have found that on the surface it can be very contradicting and confusing. Several people have said to me, “I often think about going to Church, I would like to be a Christian, but which church is the right church, there is so many of them and they all to some degree, disagree?”

Those were my own thoughts before I joined a Church. I wrestled with those thoughts for years before deciding on a particular church. But here’s the problem (but I didn't’t know it then), how may one make the correct choice without any knowledge of the scriptures? You can’t!
