The year 2011 marks the quatercentenary of the King James Version of the Bible. To mark this historic anniversary, Princeton University Center for the Study of Religion, in conjunction with the Center of Theological Inquiry and Princeton Theological Seminary, is hosting an international conference on October 13-14, 2011. This multi-media event will address the production and reception of the King James Bible, its champions and critics, and its continuing legacy in language, culture, and religious practice. Following a screening of the film “KJB: The Book that Changed the World” on Thursday evening, Friday will feature three panel discussions and a keynote address by Gordon Campbell on “Language and Memory in the King James Bible.” Friday’s presentations will be accompanied by an on-site exhibition of an original King James Bible and several rare and significant early English Bibles from the Scheide Library. See the full conference schedule below.
