The irrepresible Kiwi writes: Yeah, but what does the unauthorised version have to say? Enough of this authorised schtick! I note, solely for the record of course, that the victors always get to write history. And, on another tack, imagine if Shakespeare had lived long enough to write the KJAV. Now that would have made it a really good read!
The English translation of the Bible published in 1611 is known to Protestants as the "King James Version" or "King James Bible" but to Anglicans (whose translation it is) as "The Authorized Version." King James did not translate it; he commissioned its translation and authorized it to be read in Anglican churches.
Had Shakespeare contributed to its translation, the naughty bits would likely have been more apparent than in the AV as published.
