I'm surprised no one mentioned this today, but the King James Bible turned 400 - first published May 2, 1611. One of the milestones of the English language.

I quite agree. And its impact on western civilization continues to be felt today.

I must admit, I do chuckle when some of my uber-fundamentalist brothers insist the 1611 KJV is THE Bible. I myself prefer the NASV.

For those of you that have the YouVersion Bible app on your phone, they are celebrating the KJV turning 400 by offering free downloads of the various versions. I picked up a handful of them so that I can read while offline/out of service.

Regardless your religious beliefs, there is no denying the impact of the King James Bible. Many phrases have entered the English vernacular because of this book.

I myself prefer the NASV.

NASB?

or New American Standard Version?

The boy got one of each for 1st Communion this weekend. KJB and the NASB.

My mom got me a KJ Bible as my first Bible. I remember being in Sunday School and the instructor asking me to read a passage. I would read the passage and everybody in the class would look at me like WTF is he reading from? Thanks Mom. Can't you just get me the same fukin Bible that everyone else has?

Lebron must be much older than I first thought. And say what you will about "The Decision", but he wrote a long and thought out book!

The B is for Bersion, as in the New American Standard Bersion.
