About the book

The Jubilee Bible presents the King James Version of the Bible with the Apocrypha, bringing together sacred writings whose language has profoundly influenced English literature and worship. Creation narratives, the histories of ancient Israel, wisdom books and prophetic visions lead towards the Gospels and the letters of the early Christian world. Poetry, law, personal lament and moral teaching give the collection an extraordinary range of voices. Read for religious study or for its literary and cultural significance, it remains a source of stories, images and phrases that continue to shape the language.
