Radio 4 to celebrate King James Bible’s anniversary
BBC Radio 4 is set to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible by devoting a Sunday to readings from its text.
The commemorative event, which is due to take place next January, will last for seven hours, broken up into 28 readings each of which will be 15 minutes long.
According to reports the readings will be selected from “the most powerful stories in the Bible”, and each of them will begin with an introduction explaining its literary significance.
