For a long period, the only English version of the Bible available and authorized for worship was the Great Bible, a version endorsed by King Henry VIII of England. But since it had many deficiencies and was considered pro-Calvinist, the Archbishop of Canterbury Matthew Parker fostered the creation of a new English version, which was called Bishops' version, and was first printed in 1568. It is considered the foundation of the all-important King James' version, which is still used today.
