Abstract

Investigations of biblical texts have always been the topic of heated discussion among theologians and linguists, as well as representatives of other scientific disciplines. Over the years, the biblical stories and testimonies have been persistently challenged by different scholars, with a particular emphasis on the language of the Bible. In this paper, we dwell upon the events preceding the emergence of the King James Version and the immense authority that the KJV gained both in the churches of England and among the common people of the British Isles. As this translation of the Bible was authorised by King James, it is often referred to as the Authorised Version, and has become the Official Bible of England. Many people still believe that the KJV is The Bible, since according to them, its creation was inspired by God himself. Hence it becomes essential to reveal the factors which contribute to the supremacy of its language and majesty of style.

钦定本圣经的一些语言和文体特征
对圣经文本的研究一直是神学家和语言学家以及其他科学学科的代表们热烈讨论的话题。多年来,圣经的故事和见证一直受到不同学者的质疑,尤其是圣经的语言。在这篇论文中,我们详述了国王詹姆斯版本出现之前的事件,以及钦定本在英格兰教会和不列颠群岛普通民众中获得的巨大权威。由于这个圣经的翻译是由詹姆斯国王授权的,它通常被称为授权版本,并已成为英国的官方圣经。许多人仍然相信钦定本就是《圣经》,因为根据他们的说法,它的创作是上帝亲自授意的。因此,有必要揭示促成其语言的至高无上和风格的威严的因素。
