The KJV Bible Comes Alive Online

By Susan Slobac

The King James Version (KJV) Bible has been used to teach the Word of God to millions of people around the world since it was first printed in 1611 AD. Since then, there have been many different translations that have brought the KJV Bible to even more countries and cultures, including the New International Version (NIV), which was published in 1973, and the New King James Version (NKJV), which was published in 1982, as a modern English version that maintained the style of the original King James Bible. Since all of these Bibles are printed versions that require literate readers, there are still many people in the world who do not have the means to learn the teachings of Christ. Many of these individuals live in developing countries that do not have public schools or the type of educational opportunities found in more advanced areas of the world. This has been a concern for many dedicated Christian organizations located in the United States as well Europe, and much has been done in recent years to help remedy the situation.

Since hearing the King James audio Bible is a very easy way to spread the lessons and stories of the scripture, there are now Christian volunteers who bring villages the Bible on CD or other video and audio Bible formats that have been translated into over 300 languages. Oftentimes the King James Bible CDs can be played while villagers and children follow along in printed copies, which is a great way to teach villagers how to read as they are learning the scriptures. While some Bible listening groups take place in dangerous countries, it is inspiring to note that hundreds of villagers are often willing to accept the risk because they are hungry to hear the Word of God.

In addition to the clear benefits of bringing audio Bibles to underdeveloped countries, there are also many modern-day Christians that are taking advantage of these newer formats, including the King James audio Bible on CD and downloads of the King James Bible online. King James Bible CDs can be easily listened to while you are commuting to work everyday and you can listen to them while you are doing your daily chores or taking a morning jog - there are almost limitless possibilities. You can also download books from the King James Bible online and find different Podcasts to load onto your iPod or MP3 player. As technology continues to provide new ways to spread the Word of God, many more people will have the chance to learn about the life and lessons of Jesus Christ. The Bible is already the most translated book in the world and soon it will be most translated book in audio and online formats as well.
