The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments, in the Common Version
Overview
Begun in 1831 and finished in 1833, Noah Webster's The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments, in the Common Version is a revision of the KJV into modern English. Because the Bible was widely used in classroom settings for reading practices, Webster edited the archaic and outdated English and updated the text with English that the modern reader would understand.
