From international conferences to exhibits at Oxford, Cambridge, and the Folger Shakespeare Library, the version of 1611 received great attention and scholarly appreciation, ending no less with a cover story in the December 2011 issue of National Geographic. Centennials such as this have become major players in shaping scholarly work and publishing agendas, and they have also created welcome opportunities for academics and members of the public to share knowledge of and enthusiasm for a hallowed English translation of the Bible (http://www.oxfordbiblicalstudies.com/article/book/obso-9780195288803/obso-9780195288803-chapter-3) that has influenced so much of western, even global, Anglophone culture, for better or for worse.

Beginning with the early versions of the 16th and 17th century, the contributions of literary scholars and early modern historians are explained and assessed. While the rise of the KJB is given ample consideration, emerging work in other areas is also discussed, including Catholic biblical scholarship. In later periods, the global impact of the KJB and its subsequent decline in use is given attention, alongside newer versions both in traditional printed and online formats.
