I'm a baby boomer, and I recall all sorts of things that the younger generations today don't recall one of them is that The King James version used to be available in bookstores pretty much everywhere. You could buy it at Christian bookstores. You would see it in supermarkets. You'd even see it in some fuel stations.
But The presence of The king James version has been diminishing. You don't see it so much in the secular The. bookstores.
In Australia, I never see it in ordinary stores anymore.
Has The antiquated language of The king James version caused it to lose popularity? How many people reading what I'm writing here have lost interest in reading that Jacobean style English?
And what about the theology that lies behind The king James version?
Its history is forgotten. It's The product of a political movement as well as scholarly translation. It was mandated that it contain a number of catholic words. Catholic in The sense of The High Anglican Church. So you'll find words like baptism, church, and and Bishop. These are all big parts of king James theology. But it seems that now the people who like it most are evangelicals. How many of you are aware of the theological roots of The king James version? I've noticed that a number of people are espousing it. They like to speak about The king James only. But their own denomination is Baptist or something else that is inimical to The king James version theology. They don't have bishops. They like immersion or submersion rather than baptism in the traditional Anglican way.
And of course The king James version has elements of non catholic to anti catholic sentiment in the translation itself because of political and religious tensions around at the time when it was translated. This time I mean Catholic in The sense of The Catholic church with Rome as The seat of The Bishop Of Rome. It's an interesting thought to pursue. At any rate, I'd like to hear what any of you have to say about it.
