When James I. Succeeded Elizabeth in 1603, there were at least three popular English-language versions of The Bible in use: The Geneva Bible, the Great Bible and the Bishop's Bible. One group, known as Conformists, was satisfied with things as then found and was willing to conform to existing usages, but Puritans insisted on change and were determined to have it. James proceeded to commission a new Bible translation that would satisfy both groups, at the same time providing a unified understanding of what the Scriptures meant.
