### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderfully informative.
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2019*

If 94% of the King James Bible was actually lifted from the earlier translation by Tyndale, you might wonder how Adam Nicolson can stretch the story of this iconic English Bible out over the course of a book. But anything Nicolson writes is a bit like going on one of those guided walking tours of an old city: constantly diving down small alleys, emerging - surprisingly - at a place well-known but having seen and learnt something new along the way. It's a trick he's pulled off in so many different tomes, from seabirds to Scottish islands. Besides, the process - political and scholarly - of producing the KJB is almost as interesting as the book itself. And - as Nicolson makes clear - although the alterations are few, they are the magic fairy dust that makes the prose sparkle. That 6%, those minute changes, are the key to our continued fascination with this wonderful book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I loved this book.
  

*by T***2 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2019*

This is a very enjoyable book. The author examines the development of the King James Bible in the context of the times with lots of gossipy information about the Jacobean Court and Church of England hierarchy. This is important as King James wanted a translation of the Bible that was as opulent and magnificent as his Court. To show how this effected the final outcome, the author offers fascinating textual analysis of various English translations. The author seems to assume that the more flagrant language of the King James Version is superior to the Geneva Bible and the modern translation but only because it is more expressive rather than more accurate. But, of course, the debate about the sole importance of the Word against the importance of ritual and show, is at the heart of the religious controversy of the time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A scholarly book but well written and easy to read.
  

*by O***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2019*

If you are interested in the tortuous creation of the KJB, this is essential. Couldn't find a hardback version, but the paperback is good quality.
