The Translators to the Readers
Preface to the King James Version Of 1611
It is a shame that in most King James Bibles today, the rather long dedication and epistle from the Translators is missing. This is primarily done to save on printing and shipping costs. Whether out of interest for the King James Bible or the broader context of the history of Biblical transmission and translation, or simply as an important 17th century artefact, this document is an invaluable historical work in its own right. It is a work of its own merit and worthy to be read by all Christians everywhere. The KJV is one of the most important documents in the history of English literature, and so we thought it appropriate to present it here, so that you can have a better understanding and appreciation of the English Bible we hold in our hands today. We hope and pray it is a blessing to you.
