Tiny Church Finds Original King James Bible

Hilmarton, England (CNN) - A little English village church has just made a remarkable discovery.

The ornate old Bible that had been sitting in plain view on a table near the last row of pews for longer than anyone could remember is an original King James Bible - one of perhaps 200 surviving 400-year-old original editions of arguably the most important book ever printed in English.

In fact, the Bible at St. Laurence Church in Hilmarton, England, was sitting right under a hand-lettered sign saying it was an original.

The sign said it had been found in "the parish chest" in 1857, that the cover had been added, and that it was the second of the two impressions published in 1611 - the year of first publication.

I'm still a fan of the Geneva Translation, and more recently the Lamsa Aramaic translation. But this is an interesting find nevertheless.

Cool,, I bet some will march right in here and claim its a fake forgery or whatever.

It seems that God and his followers will keep up the good fight and keep spreading the good word. Perhaps one day someone will find my King James bible in my cold dead hands 400 years from now lol.

Really? That's how they treat it...laying it haphazardly against a makeshift stack of books putting tons of uneven pressure on it?

You would think they could buy a frigging book-stand for a historical piece such as that!?
