On May 2, 2011, the Marshall Islands Postal Service issued 12 new stamps celebrating the 400th Anniversary of the King James Bible.

In 1567, James Charles Stuart was crowned King James VI of Scotland at the age of just 13 months. Reared by tutors, he became one of history's most learned and intellectually curious monarchs. His writings were among the most influential of their period, and his book, -- Basilicon Doron -- or "the Kingly Gift" -- became a bestseller. In 1603, he ascended to the English throne and became King James I of England as well.

Perhaps King James is best known for commissioning a new translation of the Holy Bible. The Authorized King James Version -- begun in 1604 and completed in 1611 -- has eclipsed all previous and subsequent versions of the Bible. In 2011, the world celebrates the King James Bible's 400th Anniversary.
