For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

About the Celebration

"The scholars who produced this masterpiece are mostly unknown and unremembered. But they forged an enduring link, literary and religious, between the English-speaking people of the world." --Sir. Winston Churchill

In January 1604, King James I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version of the Holy Bible was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations. Translation of what came to be known as the Authorized King James Version of the Bible began that year. and upon completion in 1611, soon became the Bible for the masses, or "the people's Bible."

Four hundred years later, the King James Version of the Bible continues to inspire people from all walks of life and faith traditions and is regarded as the most influential book ever published in the English language. H.L. Mencken praised it as "probably the most beautiful piece of writing in all the literature of the world."

Continuing the legacy, the New King James Version was introduced as the 5th major revision of the King James Bible providing a modern-day, easy-to-read translation.
