The BibleThe word Bible comes from the Greek word for book - "Biblion" and has come to be used to refer to the complete collection of documents acknowledged by Christians to be inspired by God. King James Version of the BibleThe King James Version (KJV) is an English translation of the Holy Bible, commissioned for the benefit of the Church of England at the behest of King James I of England. First published in 1611, it has had a profound impact on not only most English translations that have followed it, but also on English literature as a whole. The works of famous authors such as John Bunyan, John Milton, Herman Melville, John Dryden are William Wordsworth are replete with inspiration apparently derived from the King James Version.
