when was the 1st king james bible written?
in 1611
the translators of the king james bible were instructed to take the 1602 edition of the bishops' bible as their basis, although several other existing translations were taken into account. after it was published in 1611, the king james bible soon took the bishops' bible's place as the "de facto" standard of the church of england. later judgments of the bishops' bible have not been favorable; david daniell, in his important edition of william tyndale's new testament, states that the bishops' bible "was, and is, not loved. where it reprints geneva it is acceptable, but most of the original work is incompetent, both in its scholarship and its verbosity". jack p. lewis, in his book "the day after domesday: the making of the bishops' bible", notes that unsympathetic reviews of this bible have been done. however, "granting all the shortcomings eighteenth to twenty-first-century scholarship can find in the bishops' bible, it was an important stage in moving english people from prohibited bible reading to being a bible-reading people. the revisers labored to give god's book to god's people in a language they could understand. the king james translators did not think they were making a bad translation into a good one, but were making a good one better."
