WINONA LAKE – Grace College and Seminary, The Remnant Trust and Liberty Fund are hosting an event this fall to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible.
The event will take place Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to noon at Westminster Hall.
The King James Version was initiated in 1604 when King James of England requested that a new English translation of the Bible be published.
Seven years later, the King James Version was finished in 1611 and was first published by the Church of England.
For the past 400 years, this version of the Bible has led many to Jesus Christ. The King James Version has also had a profound impact on the literature throughout the past 400 years.
Four distinguished experts will present on different facets of the King James Version. These speakers include Dr. Jeffrey Kloha, Dr. Matthew Harmon, Dr. John Alvis and Martine Brownley.
Concordia Theological Seminary professor Dr. Jeffrey Kloha will open up this symposium with the topic, “What to Translate? How the KJV Definited ‘The Bible’.”
Harmon, Grace College professor, will speak on, “Is Translation Really Treason? The Impulse to Translate the Bible into the Common Tongue.”
University of Dallas Professor Alvis will speak on “The Contribution of the KJV to the Anglo-American Tradition of Prizing Liberty.”
Brownley, Emory University professor, will conclude the event with, “‘It Lives on in the Ear’: Language, Literature, and the King James Bible.”
