A modern version of the most famous English Bible was published in 1982. This updated version is the result of years of study and research. The New Testament was published in 1979, the Psalms in 1980, and the complete Bible in 198. The aim of the New Testament is to preserve the teachings of Jesus and the early church. The New Testament was written by many authors over a period of about 1500 years, in many different languages. This makes it the oldest complete body of literature in the world. The King James Version (KJV) is the most popular version of the Bible in the English-speaking world today.

The KJV was translated into English in 1611. The English translation of the KJV is known as the King James Version (or the King James Bible).
