King James Bible: In the Beginning (BBC)

DateTuesday, December 13, 2011 at 08:48PM

London's National Theatre recently celebrated the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. For English speakers, the old-fashioned English in this version sounds very elegant. Read about the King James Bible in Wikipedia English and Chinese 欽定版聖經.

A special holiday treat from the BBC: the King James Bible recited by talented British actors, including Lindsay Duncan (Genesis), Patricia Routledge (Psalms), Maureen Lipman (Isaiah), Mark Gatiss (Luke) and Simon Russell Beale (Revelation).
