“To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the KJV, YouVersion, the most popular Bible app, has organized a mob reading of the translation beginning at 12 p.m. ET on Monday. People all over the world will read the KJV for 400 seconds in unison.”
I’ve never seen “YouVersion” but if you’re into that sort of thing…
Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
Did King James authorize the Bible in order to achieve political unity between the disparate Christian factions in his regency (Anglicans, Catholics, Puritans etc.)?

Well, for those of us who have switched over to using a smart device as our main Bible, YouVersion is a great app. It’s free and you can download a fairly large number of free translations (so you won’t have to have an internet connection to read), and access most others online.
It’s not my favorite Bible app (though it’s certainly not a bad one), but it does have the most translations available, so I switch to it when I want to look up something in a version that I don’t have on my usual apps.
