Shakespeare and Christianity Collection (2 vols.)
Overview
The Shakespeare and Christianity Collection provides modern perspectives on where the Bible meets the Bard. In these two volumes, literary critics analyze Christendom’s imprint on the work of Shakespeare as his plays emerge alongside the King James Bible. John D. Cox paints a broad picture of how emerging seventeenth-century skepticism finds itself on stage in the Shakespearean canon, while Beatrice Batson’s volume gives several close readings of specific fingerprints the Christian tradition left in three great tragedies.
Logos enhances these texts with seamless access to biblical and historical resources that deepen your study. Scripture references appear on mouseover and a click takes you to the passage in your preferred translation. Fully indexed books enable near-instant search results.

Since the KJV was first published in 1611, and Shakespeare only wrote 2 things after that, I was under the impression that he would have used the Geneva Bible as a reference (or grown up hearing/reading) that Bible. This book summary mentions the KJV.
