The Holy Bible KJV
The King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible began in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. A primary concern of the translators was to produce a Bible that would be appropriate, dignified and resonant in public reading. Hence, in a period of rapid linguistic change, they avoided contemporary idioms; tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like "verily" and "it came to pass". While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold...

The Bible is one of the oldest and most sacred texts in the world, and has been a source of inspiration and guidance in both the religious and secular realms. In this sense, the King James version of the Bible, published in the 17th century, has played an important role in Western culture and society, and its impact has been felt in different fields, including psychology. Next, we will analyze how the King James Bible has contributed to psychology, and what are the psychological ideas and concepts that can be extracted from its teachings.
To begin with, it is important to note that the King James Bible is an English translation of the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek Bibles, carried out by a team of academics in the 17th century, on the instructions of King James I of England. This version of the Bible is characterized by its poetic and evocative language, which has influenced literature and culture in general. Likewise, the King James Bible has been used by many Christian denominations as their sacred text and, therefore, has been a source of inspiration and spiritual guidance for millions of people.
In psychological terms, the King James Bible has provided a series of ideas and concepts that have influenced the way we understand the mind and human behavior. One of the most prominent elements of the King James Bible is its focus on ethics and morality, which has been a source of guidance for people's daily life and moral behavior. In this sense, the King James Bible has been a guide for many psychologists in working with patients, especially in areas such as behavior therapy or cognitive therapy. For example, many of the teachings of the King James Bible, such as "love your neighbor as yourself" or "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you," have been used as principles promoting respect and empathy towards the other, and that can be applied in psychotherapy to promote empathy and compassion.
Another element of the King James Bible that has been relevant to psychology is its focus on spirituality and the afterlife. Many people find in religion a sense of purpose and meaning, and the King James Bible has been an inspiration to many in this regard. In the field of psychology, spirituality and religion have been topics of growing interest in recent years, and have been studied from different approaches, including psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology and positive psychology. In this sense, the King James Bible has been an important reference, since it allows delving into the idea of life after death, as well as concepts such as reconciliation, forgiveness and divine justice. These topics may be of interest in psychology, as they allow exploring human relationships, morality and ethics, and decision-making.
Another important element of the King James Bible is its focus on hope and resilience. The King James Bible has inspired millions of people for centuries, and its message of hope and resilience has been an inspiration to many who have experienced adversity or conflict in their lives. In psychology, hope and resilience are key elements for mental health, since they allow us to overcome obstacles and face difficult situations with a positive and constructive attitude. In this sense, the King James Bible can be considered a source of inspiration for resilience, and can be used in psychotherapy as a motivating and hopeful element.
In conclusion, the King James Bible has contributed a series of ideas and concepts to psychology, which have been of interest to many psychologists and therapists. His focus on ethics, spirituality and hope have been relevant in his work with patients, and have allowed delving into important aspects of human life, such as morality, resilience and the meaning of life. The King James Bible continues to be a source of inspiration and guidance for millions of people around the world, and its influence has been felt in different areas of culture and society. As a psychologist, I believe that the King James Bible has been a source of reflection and learning, and can be used constructively in psychotherapy and in working with patients.

December 12, 2019I read the book The Bible because My mom would read it to me as I was growing up from the ages of 5 to 8. I didn’t really understand it but then I read it again in the past few weeks. I enjoyed reading it because it had so many life lessons and was full of action and so many more things. This book was not based on one whole story it was based on so many stories. All these stories were very thrilling to read because there was so many twists and turns throughout them. I got a better understanding of the world and how sinful it is than I did with my Action Bible. I think this book is way better than all the other books. Better than dramas, fiction and nonfiction. It’s way better than Harry Potter, I know a lot of People love Harry Potter and they think it’s the best book ever but I’m my opinion it’s not. If you like books that are as challenging as Harry Potter I say read the Bible because I guarantee the Bible will be the best book you will ever read. I recommend this book to everybody that can understand very hard lessons.

So many threats and so much violence. Definitely outweighs the good parts. Also, there’s a whole verse about burying your poo. Not for me.

Five stars for God's Holy Word!
I recommend reading alongside another, more modern translation at times as some of the antiquated language can be a bit confusing--less so individual uncommon words, which can be deciphered from context; rather, the subject-verb-object order that we are used to in modern English is not as easy to spot in some of the Biblical books, especially those that are rife with symbolic imagery like the Prophets or Revelation. Other sections of the text, perhaps due to the transcribing or the translation from Hebrew/Greek to Latin and then to English, resulted in a few verses that contain wrong doctrine. For example, Romans 8:1 in the KJV wrongly adds ", who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" to the end of the verse, perhaps copying from 8:4 a few verses later. The correct translation, however, is "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." Full stop. Although other letters of Paul do speak of the importance of an upright walk in our faith, the source of our justification is in Christ alone and has nothing to do with whether we walk according to the Spirit or the flesh.
A decent lexicon would also be helpful to confirm the correct translation of the original text, as there are some differences there among translations as well. The resources at biblehub.com. For example, 1 John 3:4 in the KJV defines sin as "the transgression of the law", but other versions correctly define sin as "lawlessness", that is, to act as if God has no moral authority over a person whatsoever. Israel throughout its history transgressed, i.e., broke the law, but this definition in 1 John provides a broader and fuller definition of sin.
These errors and a few others aside, a reader of God's Word will be richly rewarded for his endeavors. I also recommend the audio version provided by Max McLean for The Listener's Bible. As he points out on his website, until the printing press's arrival in the 16th century, the Bible was primarily heard and not read. This is the revealed Word of God, collected and preserved for the edification of His people. As it is written in 2 Timothy 3:16-17,
And spoiler alert: Jesus Christ is victorious in the end.

This is a review of the Dollar Tree one. I got the little white one. Its better than I expected, for cheap.
No maps no nothing fancy except a little white ribbon inside. The binding is good and the pages are OKish, there is a pretty gold design on the end pages .
The print is horrendously small though.
For a Bible to take along on the train or bus though, its great. Nothing you have sunk a million dollars into and you would not be devastated if something happened to it.
Its cute and hand size. Nothing you would ever regret getting even more than one of.
