The [[King James Version]] (KJV) of the [[Bible]] is an early English translation of the Holy Bible into English from 1611 and is still heavily in use today. A common view among some conservative Christians that the KJV is the only valid English translation of Bible or it is at least the most superior translation of the Bible.
==History==
The movement was officially birthed in 1930 when theologian, [[Benjamin Wilkinson]] wrote [[Our Authorized Bible Vindicated]]. While it may have existed before 1930, it was popularized when Wilkinson published his book promoting all translations after the KJV to be "corrupted." The movement has gained more traction since the 1930s and today, the KJV remains the most popular English translation.
The KJV version is the translation of which most English readers remember the [[Lord's Prayer]], the most famous prayer in the Bible in.
===Criticism===
The movement has also faced criticism. This is due to the fact that the KJV is in archaic English and may be difficult to understand for the average reader. The other reason is because the KJV is yet another translation of the Bible, so it couldn't be as accurate as its original language counterparts.
