Bible, K: King James Bible

The New Testament discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. The New Testament consists of 27 books: the four canonical gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the Acts of the Apostles, the fourteen epistles of Paul, the seven catholic epistles, and the Book of Revelation. The King James Bible is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, completed in 1611 under the sponsorship of James VI. Noted for its "majesty of style", the King James Bible has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English-speaking world. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, the King James Bible became the most widely printed book in history. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.
