We are trying to explain how the King James Bible (KJV) came into being and why we believe it is important to understand its history, not just preach from it. This generation is far removed from those of times past who knew and understood where the Bible came from, and no longer automatically trusts the Bible, especially since they are so unfamiliar with it. The people of this generation are also under a lot of pressure to lay aside the King James Bible and take up one of the countless "versions" that are on the market, so teaching its background and history is very important, and should be visited often. The process and the motives that produced the KJV were vastly different from the way modern Bible translations came about. It came from the pure line of transcripts, while the modern versions ALL come from corrupt texts, and it came at the price of blood and much suffering. It was the greatest gift to the world that God has ever given, except his Son, who is the theme of the whole book.
