Many people
prefer the King James Version of the Bible to a more contemporary translation
such as the New Revised Standard Version because of the familiarity or the poetry
of the KJV, or both. Still, some of the language is archaic. If you are one of
those who appreciates the King James English, but are looking for a revision that
brings it up to date simply in terms of contemporary usage, this revision may
be for you. It is not a new translation, but a computer generated update, giving
the venerable translation a contemporary feel that you may find refreshing.
