Antiques Bibles

The King James version of the Bible is the only book that can claim one billion (one thousand million) copies in-print. It was the official Bible of the Church of England - the “Anglican Church” - for almost four centuries. The 1611 King James Bible was a revision of the 1568 Bishops Bible, which was a revision of the 1539 Great Bible of King Henry VIII. It remains the most well-known, and most loved translation of the Bible unto this day. The printings of the King James Bible produced in the 1600’s and early 1700’s are so strikingly different than the “King James Version” Bibles being published in modern times, it is a wonderful re-capturing of our Christian heritage to actually own one of the precious ancient copies that were among the first to come off a press.

Imagine… having a genuine original ancient King James Bible as a family heirloom or display item for your home.

The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, which has been revised many times over the centuries, is probably the most famous and influential English-language Bible.However, prior to the first KJV, at least nine major versions appeared in English, and the bibliography by Frederick Moule and Thomas Herbert Darlow counts 239 editions of the English Bible before the King James. Since 1611, the number of English versions has exploded.
