The 2011 Trust will mark the role the King James Bible has played in Britain and the English speaking world.

The 2011 Trust's main aims are to:

 

1.  Celebrate the cultural importance of the King James Bible; its contribution to the English language and its impact on subsequent generations throughout the World;

2. understand the politics of the Bible, the consequences of widening access to religious texts and its role in enriching the nations; and,

3.  illustrate Christianity's hand in developing our society.

The Trust, an education and arts Trust, will highlight and debate the significant contribution that the King James Bible continues to make. Our activities will revive old and make new memories.

 

“The King James Bible remains a unique monument of scholarship, devotion and imagination, which has a crucial place in our common life. I wish you well in your efforts to make the celebrations of the 2011 anniversary a fitting tribute”.
