Publisher's Description: In January 1604, King James I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English Version of the Holy Bible was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations. Completed in 1611, this new translation--the King James Version--became the Bible for the masses.
400 years later, in celebration of this monumental book, take a walk through history with John Rhys-Davies as he visits the landmarks, shows you the relics, and introduces dramatizations of the events leading to the King James Bible's creation. This exciting docu-drama, produced by the BBC’s Norman Stone, features fast-paced action scenes that depict the holy passion, divine guidance, human frailty, and sometime treachery that surrounded the creation of the best-selling book of all time!
