King James I of England commissioned a new translation of The Bible in 1604, known as the King James Version. The main changes made were in the language and style of the text, aiming for a more formal and poetic tone. Additionally, the King James Version included some new words and phrases that have become well-known in English literature and language.

It may seem a bit silly to ask which king authorized the King James Bible, but there are extenuating factors that make it perhaps not as silly as it appears at first.James I of England (he was James VI of Scotland) was the one who did this, as opposed to James II of England (James VII of Scotland).


Is Moody Bible Institute a King James only school?

No, it's interdenominational so that could cause a conflict. When I graduated from Moody Bible Institute in the late 60s the King James Bible was used in all Bible study and theology classes and all Bible memory verses were to be from the King James Bible. However, I think today that they have gone to a modern Bible which is supposed to be "better", but in reality waters down God's Word to make it more pleasing to all people. I wish they would have stuck with the King James Bible.
