A Quick Look at the KJV and NIV

The King James Version of the Bible is a very old Bible. It was created in 1611 and was chosen to be the official Bible of the Anglican Church. In addition, it is a translation from the Greek Septuagint, which is the first Greek version of the Old Testament. The King James Version has since been used as the version of the Bible for the Protestant denominations.

The translators of the KJV made many changes, including omitting many of the references to God, to make it more acceptable to the Protestant Christians. The Catholics considered the KJV to be an attempt by Protestant churches to replace the true Word of God.

By the early 1900’s the KJV was regarded as outdated and was being read as a secular text by many of the Americans. Many people preferred to read the New International Version (NIV) and the New American Bible (NAB). These versions are considered to be the more literal translations of the Bible.
