King James Bible on Fox News

The countdown clock is now at 8 days. The KJV was probably released to the public sometime in the early part of 1611 (although an exact publication date is unknown, I think). Why start the celebration before Christmas in 2010? (oh, maybe I just answered my own question)

 

Well, here’s the results of that slanted poll anyway.....

King James / Authorised (KJV) % 56.6%
New International (NIV) % 11.1%
English Standard (ESV) % 6.1%
New King James (NKJV) % 6.1%
New Revised Standard (NRSV) % 5.0%
New American Standard (NASB) % 2.4%
New Living Translation (NLT) % 2.1%
Revised Standard (RSV) % 1.6%
Good News Translation (GNT) % 1.6%
Holman Christian Standard (HCSB) % 1.3%
The Message (Msg) % 1.3%
Other % 1.3%
Revised English (REB) % 0.8%
Amplified (AB) % 0.8%
Contemporary English (CEV) % 0.5%
The Living Bible (LB) % 0.5%
New Century (NCV) % 0.3%
New English Translation (NET) % 0.3%
New English Bible (NEB) % 0.3%
Today's New International (TNIV) % 0.0%

 

Maybe I should start a 10 year anniversary for the ESV and do a poll.

 

Lets wait another 390 years, and see if anybody has every heard of it.

 

When is the Tyndale Bible Anniversary? :applause:

 

Then it had to go through several reprintings, due to printer's mistakes, and then a few more revisions in the following decade (after a handful of the original translators had died). Then, there was the 1769 Blayney revision, which brought us the KJV that most of us use today. So, I guess it can be called the 400 year anniversary for the completion of the original work, only.

Bob, thanks for posting this. It is so refreshing to see the Bible spoken of in a good light. That's a hard thing to find in the media these days.
