Talk:Authorized Version

Origins

May I question the statement about the Bishops' Bible? My information is that the AV was heavily dependent for scholarship and wording on the Geneva Bible, which, unlike its predecessors, made use of both continental and Jewish scholarship. The Geneva Bible in itself was unacceptable because of its marginal glosses, which had an extremely "protestant" turn to them. This made it repugnant to James and his establishment. --Martin Wyatt 13:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
