It sounded interesting, I was interesting the process of the KJV version coming into being. Until recently I found the KJV rather flowery and a bit obscure. But now I have read other religious and philosophical works from classical sources. This version is brought to life and understanding. I picked this book up in the Bodleian Library.

Personally I find the language a little Shakespearean and difficult to relate to contemporary life (NIV is more readable but possibly arguably less accurate) but that in no way takes anything away from my previous sentence.

The translations are only as good as the translators understanding of these.
