[QUOTE="Split Rock, post: 59237543, member: 17087"] OK. Finished reaing the article.. a few interesting tidbits: 1. The Geneva bible was the most popular in England before the KJV, but was very anti-royal. King James VI wanted a version that was of similar quality, but not anti-monarchy. 2. One of the purposes of the KJV was to produce a bible that was accessible to everyone, "even of the very vulgar." A very Protestant idea. 3. The number of idiomatic phrases we get from the KJV is quite startling. Everything from "fell flat on his face," to "the skin of my teeth." 4. It was a massive scholarly enterprise... 54 scholars of all types and expertise arranged in six subcommittees. 5. The first printings were wrought with errors, such as "Thou shall commit adultery."
