Hoping to get rid of the Geneva Bible translation in England, because of it's radical marginal notes, and so a 'modern' English Bible could be read in the churches, King James authorized this new translation in 1604 and it was finally published in 1611 in Great Britain. It was based on what is referred to as a Textus Receptus (the 'Received Text')largely following Tyndale's translation and a few other later manuscripts. Rather than a complete translation, the KJV was a revision of previous English versions and it met the need for a clearer translation of God's Word at that time.

∙ 12y agoThe King James Version was published in 1611. The first translations into Anglo-Saxon of portions of The Bible were made around A.D. 700; some 900 years before the KJV was published. Bishop Aldhelm of Sherbore translated the Psalms, which were then put into verse form by traveling bards so that they were easier to remember. They were sung by the people and taught to the children.
The first true English Bible is Wycliffe's translation published in 1382. However, the Roman Catholic Church condemned his work and he was excommunicated. Tyndale's Bible, published in 1525 was more accurate than Wycliffe's, since it was translated from the original Greek and Hebrew. However, he was burned at the stake for translating the Bible into the language of the people. Other early English translations were the Coverdale Bible (1535), Roger's Bible (1537), and the Geneva Bible (1560).
