What happened to the "Lost" Third Edition of the King James Bible?
Many readers may assume "Authorized" English Bibles ended in 1611. But two authorized revisions predate the King James Bible, making the 1611 text the third revision. The 1881/1900 Revised Version stands as the authorized fourth.
In 1870, the Convocation of Canterbury authorized the first and only official revision of the King James Bible. British scholars invited the finest linguistic minds in America to join the work. After sweating in lock-step collaboration for 30 years—longer than any translation or revision in English Bible history—the American Revision Committee completed the final revised masterpiece in 1900: The Revised Version (Standard American Edition) of the New Testament.
The 1900 release stands as the third edition of the King James Bible—the Authorized Version, revised, purified, and perfected.
But before the public could embrace the corrected Authorized Version, a publishing monopoly stepped in. Publisher Thomas Nelson stripped the authorized "Revised Version" name, rebranded the text as the "American Standard Version" (ASV), and buried the true King James legacy for over a century.
Until now.
The 2026 restoration from Truth Unredacted Publishing shatters the corporate deception. You will hold the resurrected 1900 masterpiece, reclaiming the rightful Revised Version title and Authorized Version lineage.

The Most Honest, Accurate Translation from the Original Greek
The 1900 Revised Version was crafted by 101 of the most transparent scholars in history—including legendary linguists like Dr. James Strong (creator of Strong's Concordance) and Joseph Thayer (author of Thayer's Greek Lexicon). The committee drove toward an unprecedented goal: to provide the most honest, accurate, word-for-word, Greek-to-English translation possible, completely free of forced theology or ideology, while rigorously explaining the exact reasons for the revisions.
If you demand the uncorrupted truth of the oldest Greek texts, you will finally see the 24 rare, physical exhibits a publishing monopoly kept hidden for 125 years.
