THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE

THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE is the one I grew up with, deeply appreciate, consult, read, and utilize for the most part. That King James himself did not actually work on this Bible but authorized it and had scholars,etc. work on it at the time when 'ELIZABETHAN' ENGLISH was spoken, or 'THE LANGUAGE OF SHAKESPEARE", that is rapidly disappearing in today's world for the most part, but still has a rhythm and flow that modern English cannot convey, the same for Chaucer,etc. Nevertheless, I have read a few other versions but I tend to dislike and ignore the 'revised','updated', etc. modern affairs, though in some instances the claims that such 'translations' are more in keeping with what is or was intended by Biblical writers is maintained by many,etc. The DOUAY VERSION(often called THE CATHOLIC BIBLE) of which other authorized Bibles or version are now in print, contains books seldom found in the King James Version and most of these I have read or glanced at. Aside from these things there are many manuscripts and writings that have a 'BIBLICAL TINGE, FLAVOR, & POSSIBLE CONNECTION to orthodox/canonical writings that are worthy of attention, study and consideration. Aside from that there is the topic of THE LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE which are not these latter ones, though some label them as such, and I shall mention examples of them at some future time. The real Lost Books of the Bible are simply those mentioned in the Bible in various Chapters or Books that are not to be found, as yet, in any manuscript form or documentation other than in mere mention,usually.
