  King James Version of the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King James proposed that a new translation be commissioned to settle the controversies; he hoped a new translation would replace the Geneva Bible and its offensive notes in the popular esteem.
King James gave the translators instructions, which were designed to discourage polemical notes, and to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of the Church of England.
King James's instructions made it clear that he wanted the resulting translation to contain a minimum of controversial notes and apparatus, and that he wanted the episcopal structure of the Established Church, and traditional beliefs about an ordained clergy to be reflected in the new translation.

James was educated for eight years from the age of four by the famous historian and scholar George Buchanan (1506-1582) who was one of the finest European writers of Latin and one of the founders of modern constitutional Liberty.

The King James Version originates from the Textus Receptus, otherwise known as the Received Text, which is a representative of the Byzantine text-type (but not identical with the "Majority Text" as that term is currently used).
In the USA, one of the most adamant proponents of the King James Only Movement was famed theologian and founder of the Children's Bible Hour radio program the Revd Dr David Otis Fuller, founding president of Cornerstone University.
Those who rejected the modern translations began to advocate the ideas held by the King James Only Movement, such as the belief that the Received Text is superior to the Alexandrian manuscripts, and that Codex Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, and Sinaiticus have been corrupted by Gnostics.
