The standard editions of the 1611 King James Bible (or Authorised Version) currently available give, with little variation, the text as established by the Oxford edition of 1769. They give the reader, therefore, a seventeenth-century text in mid-eighteenth century clothes – clothes that are neither original nor modern.
In this new edition of the King James Version the text has been collated with the translators' original work in order to give the reader as closely as possible the exact text that the translators decided on. It has also been given consistent modern spelling and presentation in order to make it easier to read and study than standard editions.
Key features:
- The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible offers a new text restoring the authority of the original translation
- In the accompanying book, Norton lists and analyses the variant readings in early printings of the King James Bible, and explains how he has revisited the original 1611 KJV, and discarded editorial and typesetting alternations that have crept in over time.
