The Hampton Court Conference

About this episode

This episode discusses the Hampton Court Conference of 1604 and its significance in the creation of the King James Bible.

King James convened the Hampton Court Conference in 1604, where a new English version of the Bible was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans, an orthodox faction of the Church of England. One cannot underestimate the spiritual, cultural, political, and literary importance and influence of the Authorized Version's preeminence in the English-speaking world. E216.
