King James Version, an Epic card
The King James Bible, widely known by the nickname King James Version and the Authorized Version, is an Early Modern English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England and Church of Scotland, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI and I.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The KJV does not include a commentary on the text as the King believed that might contain anti-monarchist sentiment as had its predecessor the Geneva Bible.
- Noted for its "majesty of style," the KJV has remained in continuous use for over four centuries, exerting more influence on English literature and Christian thought than any other English Bible translation.
- Its phrasing has been credited with shaping not only hymnody and liturgy, but also the idioms of everyday speech used in the English-speaking world.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The King James Version article was read about 680,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
