Sheffield explores King James Bible

Sheffield explores King James Bible. An exhibition by the University of Sheffield's Department of Biblical Studies is set to throw new light on the King James Bible. Telling Tales of King James' Bible opens Tuesday 3 May 2011 in Sheffield Cathedral and will be open to the public until the end of June. The exhibition is part of a series of events organised by the University to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, which will include free open lectures from the former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, MP Frank Field, and other prominent cultural commentators. The exhibition is already on show in other cathedral cities including Birmingham, Canterbury and Durham. Telling Tales of King James' Bible examines the origins, use (and abuse) of the English Bible from the 1300s to the present day. The exhibition explores the influence the text has had over world events, the great literary works it has inspired and whether the Bible is relevant today.
