The '''King James Version''' (or Authorized Version) of the [[Bible]] was the culmination of 7 years of work (1604-1611) by about 50 English scholars and 20 odd [[Bishops]], authorized by King [[James I of England]]. The result was a poetic masterpiece that has profoundly influenced the [[English|English-speaking]] world ever since. It was not the first English translation ([[William Tyndale]] had previously [[translation|translated]] the Bible into English, and much of the Authorized Version was taken from Tyndale's version) or the most accurate (modern translations benefit from better sources). Some mistakes in the translation of the King James Bible exist in very important passages. But the King James Version of the Bible was the most majestic and it has inspired English literature from [[Herman Melville]] to [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]] to the [[Martin Luther King, Jr.|Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.]]
