A leather-bound “King Charles Version” Bible with “only six gospels, omitting Bartholomew” was one of the items accumulated in the closet of Jenny's apartment in one universe. When she and Kim went through the closet to sort its contents, they found it again, with Kim noting that they'd been looking for it and shelving it where it belonged in the living room. (PROSE: Cleaning Day)
Behind the scenes
In the real world, the Bible in its conventionally-canonical form only includes four gospels, and the Gospel of Bartholomew is a lost and conventionally-apocryphal text, rather than something whose omission from a Bible would be noteworthy. The English Bible named after a king is, of course, the King James Version. Notably, although many of the items within the closet in Cleaning Day were obviously brought back from interdimensional jaunts, Kim's dialogue suggests that this is a normal Bible for their world, suggesting that aside from its many supernatural elements, the default universe of Scott Sanford's Jenny Everywhere stories is also a minor alternate history relative to our world.
