Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible

The King James Bible has profoundly influenced the church as well as the broader culture for over 400 years. The translation brilliantly brought the scriptures to life for the people of the English speaking world during the Elizabethan era. It is still the most widely read Bible translation in the United States. But does the Elizabethan language of the KJV lead to confusion and misinterpretation for speakers of modern English? In this surprising and entertaining program, Dr. Mark Ward explores the challenges facing readers of the King James Bible today. He shows why every English reader can benefit from today's translations--and why you might not be as fluent in KJV English as you think.
