The Making of the King James Bible
The King James Bible, the best-selling book of all time, is not the work of one genius but rather the work of some fifty scholars and clergymen. Author Adam Nicolson documents how 400 years ago, King James I assembled a group of learned men from Oxford, Cambridge and London to produce a translation of the Bible that would unify the divisive religious movements developing in his plague-stricken kingdom. Nicolson's new book is called God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible (HarperCollins).
