The King James Bible was first published in 1611. This documentary was directed by award-winning filmmaker Jerry Griffith, it brings to life the fascinating history of how this monumental translation came into being—and the influence it has had since. 

The film explores how a committee of 47 scholars worked together over several years to produce a translation that was accurate, acceptable to the church, and elegant enough to satisfy King James himself, who had a deep appreciation for beautiful language. Through reenactments and examples of how certain passages were translated, viewers gain insight into the intense scholarly debate, the varying perspectives among the translators, and the painstaking care they took in choosing words.

By focusing not only on the historical context but also on the translation process, the documentary fosters a renewed appreciation for the King James Bible—its literary beauty, its spiritual weight, and why it continues to matter in modern Christian life.
