The Cambridge History of the Bible concludes: “Its text acquired a sanctity properly ascribable only to the unmediated voice of God; to multitudes of English - speaking Christians it has seemed little less than blasphemy to tamper with the words of the King James Version. ”
Raamat „The Cambridge History of the Bible ” ütleb kokkuvõtvalt:„ „King James Versioni ” teksti hakati pidama nii pühaks, otsekui oleks see Jumala enda hääl; paljud inglise keelt kõnelevad kristlased pidasid selle mahategemist lausa pühaduseteotuseks. ”
