The American Bible Society has published and distributed thousands and thousands of copies of the KJV. Paul Gutjahr pointed out that by 1830 the American Bible Society was producing 300,000 copies of Scripture a year (
An American Bible: History of the Good Book in the United States, 1777-1880
, p. 30). He noted that by the 1860s, the Society was regularly printing over a million volumes a year (p. 35). De Hamel pointed out that by 1880 the American Bible Society had printed more than 32,000,000 copies (
The Book
, p. 261). Thus, the ABS editions of the KJV would have been the most common and widely available edition in America in the 1800s. Why is the most common KJV edition of the 1800s in America not considered a standard American edition? Gutjahr indicated that by the late 1820s the ABSs edition of the KJV was recognized as the unofficial standard biblical text (
American Bible
, p. 90). David Norton wrote: By the 1830s the American Bible Societys texts were serving as the model for other American publishers (
Textual History
, p. 119). About ABSs editions, Daniell confirmed: Its text established itself as a sort of standard (
Bible in English
, p. 637). Some American publishers in the 1800s indicated on their title page that their editions text was conformed to the American Bible Societys standard edition. The publisher of
Hitchcocks Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible
noted that it used the authentic and singularly accurate text of the American Bible Society (p. viii).
bibleprotector, are you implying that the thousands and even millions who had a KJV printed by the American Bible Society in the 1800's supposedly had a counterfeit Bible?
