David Martinez

The author

Twenty years with one book

A writer devoted to Scripture, language, and the history that binds them together.

David Martinez has spent years studying the King James Version, not only as a text of faith but as one of the great achievements of the English language. His work traces the committee of scholars who shaped it in 1611, the older translations it drew from, and the reasons its cadence still echoes through sermons, courtrooms, and literature four centuries later.

Writing from a place of both reverence and curiosity, David brings historical research and personal conviction together, offering readers a book that is as much about the endurance of belief as it is about the endurance of words. He spent years working through primary sources, early printed editions, and the letters of the translators themselves to piece together a story that is often summarized in a single sentence but rarely told in full.

He lives with his family and continues to write, teach, and speak about Scripture's place in everyday life — from small church study groups to university lecture halls.
