  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.
There were at least two issues in 1611, set up independently, known respectively as the "He" and "She" Bibles, from their divergence in the translation of the last words of Ruth 3:15; and bibliographers have differed as to their priority, though the general opinion is in favor of the former.

The TMB is an updating of the complete text of the nonpareil Authorized Version of the Holy Bible, first published in England in A.D. A somewhat shortened edition of the Authorized Version is currently referred to on the American continent as the King James Version.
In the TMB the word Christ is used exactly as it appears in the Authorized Version and properly reflects the intent of the original language.

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.
