King James Bible - 400th Anniversary
2011 is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible, a landmark moment for English speaking peoples all over the world. The year will see many lectures and events on the King James Bible, including BBC documentaries and the issue of a Royal Mail commemorative stamp.
We are marking the anniversary at Rochester Cathedral by a free lecture in the Nave on 2nd March at 7pm (see Special Events). From the beginning of the year, we will also have for sale special 400th anniversary facsimile editions of the King James Bible available from the Welcome Desk at £26.99.
Further information about the national celebrations can be found on www.kingjamesbibletrust.org.
