The history of the King James Bible (KJB) starts with William Tyndale.Admittedly, Tyndale was not the first person to translate the Bible into English, and he had neither the time nor the opportunity to prepare a translation of the entire Bible. Nonetheless, without William Tyndale the KJB would not be as it is today. His role in the genesis of the Authorized Version and in any subsequent English Bible is impossible to overestimate. And while the opinions of scholars about the exact percentage that is incorporated from Tyndale’s wordings into the KJB vary between 76 and 90 percent (though in different biblical books), all of them agree that a substantial portion of the Authorized Version is a verbatim rendering of William Tyndale’s translation. To put it somewhat bluntly: by modern standards of authorship, the KJB would be regarded as a form of plagiarism.
