How many times has the king james bible been revised ?

Answer 1

I think twice, just to brush up some typos. I wasn't changed, but corrected. No stories were changed, no content was changed, just some typo's and word updates. www.chick.com goes into detail.

Answer 2

It was revised four times, over a 150 year time period, before it sufficiently matched the teachings of the Church of England and was Authorized. As such, those who started the work didn't finish it. It was created because the Genesis Bible was considered too strict.

Of interest, the Church of England now endorse gay marriages and in November, the Bishop said that handicap children should not be allowed to live.

Answer 3

So many changes have been made, many of them in the readings of passages, that the Committee on Versions (1851-56) of the American Bible Society found 24,000 variations in six different editions of the King James Version!

Answer 4

It has an interesting history to be sure, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Bible

The King James Version was translated by 47 scholars (although 54 were originally contracted) working in six committees, two based in each of the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and Westminster. They worked on certain parts separately; then the drafts produced by each committee were compared and revised for harmony with each other. The scholars were not paid for their translation work, but were required to support themselves as best they could. Many were supported by the various colleges at Oxford and Cambridge.
