hey man, I thought that one would light you up.

But like I said, I am not against modernizing the version, and I think there are a couple of good attempts out there.

Nevertheless, the KJV is a monumental accomplishment. I am overwhelmed by it quite often and there are phrases in there that really can’t be improved on.

BTW, I just finished Olga Opfel’s The King James Bible Translators. Have you ever read that one? Quite an interesting insight into the men and the times. A little too brief, but I guess there is not much info on the translators more than what she gathered together.

I have a couple of quotes from Opfel that I plan to blog on in the near future. Good stuff.

Regards,

Trying to make me like you more? Real Men, Positive KJV. I’m going to cry like a woman over this.
