Four centuries have antiquated the once modern language of the King James Version of the Bible, causing it to increasingly obscure God's message to the contemporary English-speaking world. Using a Bible written in a commoner-friendly language is essential for the effective work of contemporary ministry. However, those churches that are willing to make the change from the KJV to a contemporary version are faced with a lack of guidelines and principles to help them navigate the transition. In an effort to fill this void, this study examined the change process of a Baptist congregation which transitioned from the King James Version to a modern-language Bible as its primary worship text. The findings confirmed that transitioning from the antiquated wording of the KJV to a contemporary-language version was beneficial to the members and the ministries of the congregation. However the study also concluded that the process and benefits of transition were best set within a framework of deeper missional purpose.
