when did the new king james bible come out
New King James Version The New King James Version (NKJV) is a translation of the Bible published by HarperCollins[1] (a subsidiary of News Corp). The New Testament was published in 1979, the Psalms in 1980, and the full Bible in 1982. It took seven years to complete.[2] The anglicized edition was originally known as the Revised Authorized Version, but the NKJV title is now used universally.
Bible translations into English The first complete Roman Catholic Bible in English was the Douay–Rheims Bible, of which the New Testament portion was published in Rheims in 1582 and the Old Testament somewhat later in Douay in Gallicant Flanders. The Old Testament was completed by the time the New Testament was published, but due to extenuating circumstances and financial issues was not published until nearly three decades later, in two editions, the first released in 1609, and the rest of the OT in 1610. In this version, the seven deuterocanonical books are mingled with the other books, rather than kept separate in an appendix.
