A thorough account of the origins of the King James Bible with a particular focus upon James' own influence in its production. John Rhys Davies is magnificent as the narrator and the dramatizations add a good deal to the storytelling. More could have been made of the back-stories of some of the translators which are also very interesting- and quite entertaining in some cases, and also of the contribution of Tyndale's earlier work: although it's of course not possible to cover everything in a single film. Nevertheless, a very worthwhile contribution to the commemoration of the anniversary of the publication of the Authorised translation of the Bible which came in very useful when teaching a college class on the subject.
