Victorian King James Version Of The New Testament A Selection For Lovers Of Elizabethan And Victorian Literature

Many revisions of the King James (Authorized) Bible of 1611 exist; even revisions of revisions have been done (ASV to NASB / RV to RSV / KJV to NKJV, etc.). The present work is a similar "hybrid." I don't know Greek, and am therefore not qualified in the slightest to actually translate (and did not translate a single word). But I know English (as a professional author) and know the Bible (as a longtime Christian apologist) very well. This work, accordingly, isn't technically a new translation at all, but rather a "selection" or collection of what I personally felt were the best renderings that maintained the KJV style as much as possible without the archaisms. When I updated the olde English language, I sought to maintain a "high" Victorian 18th-19th century style of (British) English. This NT "selects" from the following six translations (all in the public domain): 1) KJV (1611; rev. 1769), 2) Rheims (1582; rev. 1750), 3) Young's Literal (1887), 4) Weymouth (1903), 5) 20th Century (1904), 6) Moffatt (1922).

The New Testament discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. The New Testament consists of 27 books: the four canonical gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the Acts of the Apostles, the fourteen epistles of Paul, the seven catholic epistles, and the Book of Revelation. The King James Bible is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, completed in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI. Noted for its "majesty of style", the King James Bible has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English-speaking world. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, the King James Bible became the most widely printed book in history. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

The Authorized Version of 1611 - Commonly referred to as the King James Bible-New Testament from the Pure Cambridge Edition

The Gospel of Jesus Christ as told by Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the original King James version of 1611, and from the Rheims New Testament of 1582. Presented in parallel columns for comparison of these two translations for Christians everywhere, and particularly students of the Bible. The King James Bible is the translation authorized by King James and translated by a committee of Anglicans and Puritans and published in 1611, without additions or changes. The REAL Douay Rheims Bible is the original and true rendition of the Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome circa A.D. 400 from the earliest manuscripts extant into English by the English divines at Rheims and Douay without accretions, deletions, or political correctness.
