		Version numbers are useful so that the user can know if the program has changed (bugs have been fixed or new functions added) since he obtained his copy and the programmer can tell if a bug report relates to the current version.
		This version became greatly corrupted by repeated transcription, and to remedy the evil Jerome (A.D. 329-420) was requested by Damasus, the bishop of Rome, to undertake a complete revision of it.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Authorized Version
		The version, however, undoubtedly derived its chief importance from the use made of it by Wyclif and the Lollards, and it is in this connection that it is chiefly remembered.
		The Authorized Version was printed in the usual form of chapters and verses, and before each chapter a summary of its contents was prefixed.
		Nevertheless, there remained in the Authorized Version here and there traces of controversial prejudice, as for example, in the angel's salutation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the words "highly favoured" being a very imperfect rendering of the original.

	Authorized King James Version of the Bible 1611
		The authorized version of the Bible satisfies this reasonable conservatism on both points; and it is, therefore, a matter of much literary as well as religious interest that it should remain intact so long as it continues able to discharge its functions which have been appointed to it as a spiritual and a philological instructor.
		Low-German retranslations of this version, indeed, were published, but they did not long continue in use; and for nearly three centuries Luther's text has been the only one employed in religious teaching in Protestant Germany, however widely the local speech may differ from it.
		Now, when the version of Wycliffe appeared, English was in a state of growth and formation, and the same observation applies, though with less force, to the period of Tyndale.

	The Authorized Version (1611)
		The version which was destined to put the crown on nearly a century of labor, and, after extinguishing by its excellence all rivals, to print an indelible mark on English religion and English literature, came into being almost by accident.
		The Bishops' Bible, hitherto the official version, ceased to be reprinted, and the Authorized Version no doubt gradually replaced it in churches as occasion arose.
		None of the ancient versions had been critically edited; and so far as King James' translators made use of them (as we know they did), it was as aids to interpretation, and not as evidence for the text, that they employed them.

		To summarize in a single sentence: the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is an authorized revision of the Revised Standard Version, published in 1952, which was a revision of the American Standard Version, published in 1901, which, in turn, embodied earlier revisions of the King James Version, published in 1611.

		It is the hope and prayer of the translators that this version of the Bible may continue to hold a large place in congregational life and to speak to all readers, young and old alike, helping them to understand and believe and respond to its message.

		If our options are "Authorized Version" and "King James Version", the former has a great deal more in its favour than to attribute the translation, in some way, to King James.
		If Frank Hughes is correct, then we have the anomalous situation that from the beginning it was described as authorized, and not called anything else in the country of its origin, and yet nobody actually authorized it.

	Brief History of the King James Bible by Dr. Laurence M. Vance
		The Authorized Version, as it came to be called, went through several editions and revisions.
		Subsequent versions of the Bible were likewise eclipsed, for the Authorized Version was the Bible until the advent of the Revised Version and ensuing modern translations.
		As to whether the Authorized Version was ever officially "authorized," Brooke Westcott, one of the members of the committee that produced the Revised Version, and the editor, with Fenton Hort, of an edition of the Greek New Testament, stated that:

		This James succeeded Elizabeth on the English throne and was, previous to coming to the throne, James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scots.
		In the summer of 1611, as King James was on his way to London to receive the English Crown, an event occurred which ultimately led to the version of the Bible which bears his name.
		And the search for the best version is crowded with `experts,' loaded with opinion, choked with rhetoric, confused by misused terminology, and short of objective information.

		It is somewhat difficult for the new student using the King James Version, however, with time and practice, and the use of study tools, it will be found that the King James is the most reliable translation in English.
		Any other version than the King James Authorized Version of 1611 which is solely used, will take away from the importance of using a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.

		Therefore we are writing these pages with the object mainly of setting forth such facts concerning the two rival Versions, the sources whence they were respectively derived, and the circumstances attending the coming into existence of the Revised Version, as have served as a basis for the writer's own judgment.
		As to which is the better of the two Versions of the English Bible there is of course a difference of opinion.
		Those who favor the modern Version will point to the fact that, during the three hundred years that have elapsed since the A.V. was translated, much material has been discovered whereby additional light is thrown upon the Text.

	Which Translation...IV
		The King James Version is often criticized because of its use of what is called "archaic language." The translators of the modern versions ride this "hobby horse" to death by using it to justify THEIR versions.
		Since the TEXT of the Authorized Version we have today is virtually identical to the one the translators delivered to the printer, you may be wondering what kind of changes were made that number in the thousands and cause such a ruckus.
		Of the four major editions of the Authorized Version, the 1629 and 1638 were mainly to correct typographical errors; the 1762 and 1769 were to update the spelling.

	Haven't there been several revisions of the King James Bible since 1611?
		Therefore, in the last half of the eighteenth century, the spelling of the King James Version of 1611 was standardized.
		In conclusion, the New King James is not a revision in the vein of former revisions of the King James Version.
		The authority for its veracity lies not in the first printing of the King James Version in 1611, or in the character of King James I, or in the scholarship of the 1611 translators, or in the literary accomplishments of Elizabethan England, or even in the Greek Received Text.
