<h3> [[Bible|Bible contents page]]</h3>

The word ''[[Bible]]'' comes from the Greek word for book and has come to be used to refer to the complete collection of documents acknowledged by [[Christians]] to be inspired by [[God]]. Inspired by God means literally, "God breathed" - the actual words of God.

The '''King James Version (KJV)''' is an [[English language|English]] [[translation]] of the [[Bible|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]] and [[William Wordsworth]] are replete with inspiration apparently derived from the King James Version.
