Bible (KJV) NT 05: Acts

Description

The book is a continuation of his written gospel taking into the accounts of the Acts of the Apostles through the work of the Holy Spirit. The biblical characters include Peter, Paul, John, James, Stephen, Barnabas, Timothy, Lydia, Silas, and Apollos. The Apostles who were guided by the Holy Spirit worked together to share the word of the Messiah through the Church of God.

The King James Version (KJV), also referred as the King James Bible (KJB) or commonly the Authorized Version (AV), is an English conversion of the Christian Bible for the Church of England started in 1604 and accomplished in 1611. The texts of the King James Version contain the 39 texts of the Old Testament, an intertestamental chapter consisting of 14 texts of the Apocrypha – much of which are parallel to the texts in the Vulgate Deuterocanon observed to by Roman Catholics, and the 27 texts of the New Testament.

It was first published by the King’s Printer Robert Barker and was the third conversion into English granted by the English Church officials. The first had been the Great Bible, authorized in the ruling of King Henry VIII in 1535, and the second had been the Bishops’ Bible of 1568. In January 1604, James VI assembled the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English translation was considered in rejoinder to the issues of the first versions comprehended by the Puritans, a division of the Church of England. The conversion is notable for its “majesty of style”, and has been depicted as among the very significant works in English civilization and a compelling influence in the formation of the English-communicating domain.

James provided the interpreters guidelines aimed to make certain that the latest translation would adapt to the ecclesiology and replicate the episcopal form of the Church of England and its faith in an ordained ministry.
