Description: KJV The Bible with Apocrypha
Item code: 0199535949
The Bible is the most important book in the history of Western civilization,
and also the most difficult to interpret. It has been the vehicle of continual
conflict, with every interpretation reflecting passionately-held views that have
affected not merely religion, but politics, art, and even science.
This unique edition offers an exciting new approach to the most influential
of all English biblical texts--the Authorized King James Version, complete with
the Apocrypha. Its wide-ranging Introduction and the substantial notes to each
book of the Bible guide the reader through the labyrinth of literary, textual,
and theological issues, using the most up-to-date scholarship to demonstrate how
and why the Bible has affected the literature, art and general culture of the
English-speaking world.
The Bible: Authorized King James Version also includes the latest
biblical research, evaluated and put into context as well as discussing
centuries of critical opinion. A non-sectarian, historical approach makes it
suitable for a wide range of readers. A Glossary of terms used in the Notes and
six maps of the Holy Land further illuminate the meaning of this most culturally
influential version of the Bible.
