Dating the Oldest New Testament Manuscripts by Peter van Minnen (a papyrologist and ancient historian specializing in Greek documentary texts from Hellenistic and Roman Egypt)
A Brief History of the King James Bible by Dr Laurence M Vance (author, publisher, lecturer, freelance writer, editor of the Classic Reprints series, and director of the Francis Wayland Institute)
They might shed some light.
well I just started reading into the responses to my question and they're so many I don't have enough time tonight to read them all. Thanks for posting. These questions (and a few others) about the KJV have been bothering me for quite sometime and it's really been irritating. I suspected bullshit for decades. Now that I'm an atheist I have this strange urge to learn how much bullshit (and in what degrees) I've been fed over all these years. Why I feel this way, I don't know, but not knowing is just plain irritating. Learning the facts (or at least a much more plausible and verifiable story/explanation) relieves the irritation. Thanks for posting.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
