The King James Bible has often been called the Book of Books both
in itself and in what it stands for. Since its publication in 1611
it has been the best selling book in the world, and many believe,
had the greatest impact. The King James Bible has spread the
Protestant faith. It has also been the greatest influence on the
enrichment of the English language and its literature. It has been
the Bible of wars from the British Civil War in the seventeenth
century to the American Civil War two centuries later and it has
been carried into battle in innumerable conflicts since then. Its
influence on social movements - particularly involving women in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries - and politics was profound. It
was crucial to the growth of democracy. It was integral to the
abolition of slavery and it defined attitudes to modern science,
education and sex. As THE ADVENTURE OF ENGLISH explored the history
of our language, so THE BOOK OF BOOKS reveals the extraordinary and
still-felt impact of a work created 400 years ago.
