Criticism
The Church insists on using the Authorized ("King James") Version as its official Bible, even though more modern translations are easier to read, are more accurate, and include more recent manuscript discoveries.
Source(s) of the criticism
Response
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses the Authorized (King James) Version as its official Bible.
However, there is nothing in Church policy or official Church teaching that forbids Latter-day Saints from reading other Bible translations in their personal study.
