History & Background
The King James Version was commissioned in 1604 by King James I of England following the Hampton Court Conference. Forty-seven scholars working in six groups across Westminster, Oxford, and Cambridge completed it in 1611. Drawing from the Textus Receptus Greek manuscripts, the Masoretic Hebrew text, and earlier English translations, it became the dominant English Bible for over three centuries. Its majestic prose has profoundly shaped English literature and Western culture.
