ALABAMA - It's now 400 years old, archaic, dated and some would argue not as accurate or easy to read as later translations. But there is something special about the King James Bible, which was first published in May 1611. "I love the King James Version; it's my favorite translation," said Beeson Divinity School Dean Timothy George. "I listen to the King James Version on my iPod. It just sounds like the Bible to me." The King James Bible has been surpassed now by the best-selling New International Version and the Bible market has been inundated with a wide variety of high-quality translations, George said. [link]
