NEW TESTAMENT, THE

The single most important book in the history of all Christian literature is pre
sented here in the Authorized Version which has exerted such a profound influenc
e on both spiritual life and the literary production of English-speaking culture
s. The King James Bible was originally issued in the early years of the seventee
nth century and is therefore contemporary with Shakespeare's last plays. Despite
many subsequent attempts to render the text in good English, its beauty of lang
uage and rhetorical power still continue to eclipse any more recent translation.



Most editions of the Bible are presented in columns. This text is laid out l
ike a normal book to make for ease of reading and reference.
