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.

You can own this significant Bible version thanks to BibleStudyPro, which is software for reading and studying the Scriptures. It has many interesting and useful features, like several commentaries and reference tools by reputable Bible scholars. Also, it offers you the possibility of making your own notes, thus making your study easier. Also, its word processor-like interface lets you perform many other tasks, like copy and paste texts, as well as print and export verses, and even e-mail any selected quote directly from your default e-mail program. The basic program has the King James version included, but you can download several other modules, like this Bishops' version. Don't forget to download and install the program itself first.
