The People's Bible
When King James VI/I held the first printed copy of the Bible he commissioned in his hands in 1611, he could never have foreseen the impact it would have around the world. Many of our ancestors learned to read from the King James Version and in lots of cases came to a relationship with God.
At the Scottish Bible Society we marked this important anniversary with The People's Bible project with our colleagues in England and Wales. It has been travelling Great Britain offering people of all faiths and none the opportunity to handwrite two verses of Scripture and at the same time logging that work as a digital copy which they can view on the web.
More than 22,000 people engaged with the Scriptures in over 200 venues across Britain. We are grateful to God that the 400th anniversary of the KJV gave us a perfect opportunity to promote the Bible in our own country like never before.
