LDS Public Affairs released a press statement announcing a soon-to-be-released Spanish edition of the “LDS Bible.” The 1979 English language “LDS Bible” used the King James Version for the text, but added new chapter headings, cross-references, and an LDS bible dictionary. The new Spanish language edition uses “the 1909 Reina-Valera edition of the Bible,” with some changes: “The 2009 Latter-day Saint edition modernizes some of the outdated grammatical constructions and vocabulary that have shifted in meaning and acceptability.”

I wonder if they have ever noticed the “outdated grammatical constructions and vocabulary” in the KJV? For an illustrated overview of the new edition, visit the Santa Biblia page (strangely, in English).
