What's This All About?

On May 2, 1611 the Church of England published the King James Version of the Bible—one of the most widely read books in human history. Today, the YouVersion community is celebrating the 400th anniversary of this landmark translation by reading the entire King James Bible in 400 seconds.

People around the world are simultaneously reading a small section from the Bible out loud together, and sharing photos and posts on Twitter and Facebook. Check back after the event to get a view of the global participation!
