There are a large number of camps that don't align about this issue.

The King James Only movement alone:

    asserts the belief that the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is superior to all other translations of the Bible.
and has been divided into five subgroups with varying opinions about the text and its relation to God.

This barely scratches the surface of the many opinions held about the collections of smaller books that are bound as versions of "The Bible"; which books, which translations, which interpretations, etc.



> asserts the belief that the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is superior to all other translations of the Bible.

As one who is fond of classical English literature, I am compelled to agree.


Thanks! Very interesting.


There is a lot of disagreement about even what documents should be in the Bible:

and lots of disagreement about translation and interpretation.
