Has anybody read 'Bible: The Story of the King James Version'?
I just got a copy of Bible: The Story of the King James Version by Gordon Campbell and am planning to read it. Has anyone else here read it, and if so, what do you think of it?

You even learn how the deuterocanonical books (referred to as the Apocrypha) were still considered inspired books and kept in the Bible by King James despite the objections of the Puritans. You can get a reprint from Vance Publications. What I mean by reprint is that it is an actual photocopy of the original book. Be warned, it is written in pre-modern English. It is not too difficult to read but you notice things like there was no letter J in the English language so Jesus was spelled Iesus.
