Did Winston Churchill say the King James Bible had been translated into more than 760 languages? In the Jack Chick video "Where was the Bible before 1611? How can we know God endorsed the KJV?" (linked here), this claim is made: > You know, Winston Churchill said that the King James Bible had been translated into more than 760 languages. So there's a testimony of the importance of the King James Bible. It's had 400 years of history. Did Winston Churchill ever make this statement (regardless of if the statement itself is accurate or not)?

**It appears he said it in _A History of the English - Speaking Peoples, Vol. 2 The New World_.**

A short paper authored by Calvin George in 2009 quotes the book directly

> If the adventurers took books with them they took the Bible, Shakespeare, and later The Pilgrim’s Progress, and the Bible they mostly took was the Authorized Version of King James I. About ninety million complete copies are thought to have been published in the English language alone. **It has been translated into more than seven hundred sixty tongues.** The Authorized Version is still the most popular in England and the United States.
