Introduction to the King James Version
Many people who subscribe to the King James Only crowd, including nuts like Jack Chick, think that it is the only true, unadulterated Word of God™. Yet, they seem (apparently) oblivious to the fact that the 1611 translators wrote a lengthy introduction, in which the 1611 translators themselves did not believe their translation was perfect and did not try and claim that other translations were unacceptable or wrong. While we encourage you to read the introduction for yourself, we will highlight a few bullet points here to show that the KJV translators themselves did not believe in KJV Only.

With that in mind, let's move on to the King James Version of the Holey Holy Bible.
