A Lecture about the King James Bible

If you want to hear about how this bible came about, and its impact, listen to this lecture.

2011 is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. All of us are aware of the religious and theological significance of this great work, but it has also had a wider and lasting impact on our language and culture. Sir Winston Churchill said of this translation that 'the scholars who produced this masterpiece are mostly unknown and unremembered. But they forged an enduring link, literary and religious, between the English-speaking peoples of the world.'¹

"As part of Theological Libraries Month, the Westminster library hosted a special lecture by Dr. Carl R. Trueman on the historical background to and the translation of the KJV entitled “Throwing the Book at his Enemies: James I and his Bible.” Dr. Trueman is Professor of Historical Theology and Church History and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Westminster."
