The King James Version was the Bible of American Protestantism in the nineteenth century and was therefore Joseph Smith's Bible. Recognition of its flaws led him to study the ancient languages, work on the Inspired Version, and seek out alternative translations such as the Luther Bible. Among other things Head discusses King James Version in ways hopefully illuminating for those both in and outside the tradition, why Mormons use the King James Version--or to state it differently, what the use of the King James Version might say about the modern Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
