what year did the Catholics assemble the bible ,and what year did king James wright his version?

Question

dates please

sorry when did King James translate his version

Answer 1

The books of the New Testament were written by 100 A.D.

By the 4th century A.D. there were literally thousands of books, some of them dubious, that claimed apostolic authorship.

In 382 A.D. the Council of Rome decided the list of 27 inspired books of the NT, it included the Septuagint (Greek) 46 books of the Old Testament.

The King James version was translated in 1611 A.D.

Neither Luther nor the KJV Bible of 1611 A.D. removed any of the books from the list decided by the Council of Rome in 382 A.D. It was in 1825 A.D. at the Council of Edinburgh that 7 books from the Old Testament were removed from the Bible.

Answer 2

Most above answers are accurate.

The 1st bible, the Latin Vulgate, was first published (hand-written, remember) about the year 400 C.E. We do not know the exact year, but it was very close to 400. It is, in a way, over-reaching to give sole credit to the Roman Catholic Church for this, as the church responsible was not only the precursor of the Roman Catholic Church, but also of all the Eastern Orthodox churches, and many (particularly Augustine of Hippo, in northern Africa) were responsible for the selection of books that eventually were included in the Vulgate. It is true, however, that the church at this time was that of the Roman Empire, and the translation was made into Latin, primarily (but not solely) by a Western European priest (Jerome).

The King James Version (KJV), as mentioned in other answers, was 1st printed in 1611. King James does not seem to have been involved in the translation, and was responsible only for authorizing the government funding for the project. The translation was done by scholarly (i.e. educated) clerics from the original languages.

Note that nearly all currently available editions of the KJV are printings of the Oxford Revision of 1769. Nearly all of them exclude several books (the entire section known as "the apocrypha"), the foreword, and the excellent marginal notes included by the translators in the original edition. Very useful to those interested is the foreword http://www.bible-researcher.com/kjvpref.html which explains, among other things, why the translators felt it *necessary* to include alternate translations of difficult (ambiguous) verses in the margins.

Note also that the KJV:
1) is *not* the 1st English translation of the bible
2) is *not* the 1st English translation from the original languages
3) is *not* the first, or the last, "authorized" version (and who exactly authorized the KJV, and for what purpose, seems to be a matter of conjecture)

KJV based on the original *translation* (not any particular printing), and including the entire original text:

Answer 3

I don't actually think that the King James Version was written by King James.

Known as the Authorized Version in England it was first in use in 1611. I think translated from the Greek. It's CofE version.

Answer 4

St. Jerome produced the (Catholic) Latin Vulgate in the 4th century and he had access to many original texts that later biblical scholars did not, therefore his translation was very accurate.

The KJV (Protestant translation) did not come about until 1611 A.D.

The King James contained thousands of errors and has been revised multiple times by Protestant scholars. Of course, they did not - and do not now - have access to many Old and New Testament books that St. Jerome did.

Answer 5

The council of Nicene was in the 3rd or 4th century CE. King James authorized a translation (note: he did not have it written, it was translated) in or around 1611.

Answer 6

As far as I am aware the earliest translation from the original Old and New Testaments were made by St.Jerome around the year 394AD,the KJV did not arrive until 1611AD.

Answer 7

The first Bible was a secret book within the Roman Army org

As a ible Books it came about 700 AD

New Testament Book 's about 1470

But allot of books was left out by special interest groups!
