Which books of the bible are missing from the king James version?

Answer 1

The King James Version of The Bible does not include the books known as the Apocrypha, which are considered canonical by some Christian traditions but not by others. These books include Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, and additions to the books of Esther and Daniel. The Protestant Reformation played a significant role in the exclusion of these books from the King James Version.

Answer 2

Although attempts to remove the 14 books known as the Apocrypha from the Bible began immediately after the King James translation was completed they remained in the Bible until the end of the 19th Century. There is no doubt that the 14 books of the Apocrypha were controversial, but it cannot be denied they were included in the original King James Bible.

The concept of the Protestant Church about the Apocrypha is virtually non-existent, with the general understanding that only the Catholic Church uses it. One would be hard-pressed to find any members of the clergy even aware that these books were ever included in the King James Bible. There are 155,683 words and over 5,700 verses contained in 168 chapters now missing from the King James translation of the Bible due to the exclusion of the Apocrypha. Although this only happened just over a hundred years ago, their existence as fully accepted scripture is virtually unknown.
