The year that the
King James Version (or
Authorized Version) of the
Bible was completed. People often refer to the King James of 1611. Certain highly conservative Protestant denominations (mostly various independent or minority
Baptists) consider the King James Version of 1611 the
Textus Receptus, and the only legitimate representation of the Bible. See
www.av1611.org for an example. Also the people at
Pensacola Christian College hold to this view. The King James Version as it is generally published today is was considerably revised in the years shortly following 1611, mostly for various spelling and other updates, although the
spelling,
grammar, and
usage is still often
archaic and
quaint.
