SynopsisThe Queen James Bible is based on The King James Bible, edited to prevent homophobic misinterpretation. Homosexuality in The Bible Homosexuality was first mentioned in the bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version. There is no actual mention of or reference to homosexuality in any bible prior to this - only interpretations have been made. Anti-LGBT bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin; Seven verses in a book of thousands! The Queen James Bible seeks to resolve interpretive ambiguity in the bible as it pertains to homosexuality: We edited those eight verses in a way that makes homophobic interpretations impossible. Who is Queen James? The King James Bible is the most popular bible of all time, and arguably the most important English language document of all time. The brainchild and namesake of King James I, who wanted an English language bible that all could own and read, it has been in print for over 400 years and has brought more people to Christ than any other bible translation. Commonly known to biographers but often surprising to most Christians, King James I was a well-known bisexual. Though he did marry a woman, his many gay relationships were so well-known that amongst some of his friends and court, he was known as "Queen James." It is in his great debt and honor that we name The Queen James Bible so. A Fabulous Bible The QJB is a big, fabulous bible. It is printed and bound in the United States on thick, high-quality paper in a beautiful, readable typeface. It is the perfect bible for ceremony, study, sermon, gift-giving, or simply to put on display in the home or Church. You can't choose your sexuality, but you can choose Jesus. Now you can choose a bible, too. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
The bible is big, very legible and on fairly good paper. I have no complaint with the quality of the book itself excluding some of the printed content.
I can't recommend it even though it allegedly has only been corrupted in eight verses. This is a LOT less than the number of verses corrupted in the New King James Version, the New International Version, the New American Standard Bible and many other bibles. I would have to recommend it above all modern bible versions I've reviewed but it's still a corrupt bible so I can't recommend it.
It's called The Queen James Bible because allegedly King James who authorized the translation of the King James Bible was bisexual (I doubt it). I dearly wish the authors of The Queen James Bible had given at least one reference proving King James was bisexual but, alas, I found none. Whether or not King James was bisexual has NOTHING to do with the issue as King James did not translate the King James Bible. If King James had been a bisexual and had anything to do with the translation of the King James Bible it's unlikely he would have let verses condemning homosexual behavior slip into it.
