To get the full impact of this history, we must go back to the first century.

Believe us, the history leading up to the publication of the King James Bible is worth knowing-lest history repeat itself! Christ Emphasized Scripture Reading How well do you know the history of what led to the making of the King James Bible? Only a few know the real history. In the United Kingdom, this English-language translation is known as the Authorized Version-a more descriptive title embedded with centuries of history, full of intrigue, intertwined with scenes of book burnings, bloody violence and sadistic martyrdom. This year marks the 400th anniversary of the printing of the book commonly known in America as the King James Bible. Sound far-fetched? History shows us otherwise. The men hostilely state, “The Bible is a seditious book, it is illegal to own copies, and you will be committing a crime if you read it!” He shows you an officially signed and stamped document and explains that they hold a warrant to search for and seize all copies of the Bible. Besides a shotgun, one of the intense patrolmen is holding unfolded papers. Anticipating the knock, you cautiously open the front door.

Imagine looking out a window and seeing two shotgun-toting uniformed policemen walking toward your home.
