This year we're celebrating the 400th anniversary of the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. To mark the occasion we asked our resident historian on staff, Charlie Skrine, to give us a short history of the KJV, which you can watch here:

The video has five quiz questions about the KJV, so if you fancy testing yourself, here they are:

Was the King James Version the first translation into English? (1:08)
Was the King James Version King James' idea? (3:00)
Who was the King James Version against? (5:30)
Was the King James Version a fresh translation? (7:40)
Was the King James Version the most popular Bible of its time? (10:48)

Charlie studied history at the University of Oxford, trained for ordained ministry at Oak Hill Theological College, and is now the Student Minister at St Helen's.
