KKJ97

KKJ97 is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1997. It is based on the King James Version (KJV) of 1611, but with certain revisions and updates. The translation was initiated by the King James Bible Committee, which was formed in 1982 to address the need for a revised version of the KJV. The committee aimed to correct errors and inconsistencies in the original KJV while maintaining its literary style and theological content.

The KKJ97 translation process involved a team of scholars and translators who worked to ensure accuracy and fidelity to the original texts. The committee sought to correct any errors in the KJV that had been identified over the centuries, as well as to update the language to make it more accessible to modern readers. The translation was completed in 1997 and has since been widely used in various Christian communities.

The KKJ97 translation is notable for its conservative approach to textual criticism and its commitment to preserving the original meaning of the KJV. However, it has also been criticized for its adherence to the KJV's outdated language and for not fully addressing some of the more significant textual issues in the original manuscripts. Despite these criticisms, the KKJ97 remains an important resource for those who value the traditional language and theology of the KJV.
