IMO, the Old Testament (KJV) is much easier to follow. There are fewer names to keep track of.

Oh, I dunno. Plenty of begat-begat-begat-begats in the OT. But it is very KJVish.

I love the Old Testament, but you have to admit there are some pretty dry sections. Most people who begin reading the OT (not to be confused with Overtaxed) stop when they get into the description of the Tabernacle, or if they get past that they stop in Leviticus.

Christians who ignore the Old Testament because it is "too hard" are robbing themselves of over half of God's word. Likewise, Tolkienites who shy away from TS are robbing themselves of a much deeper appreciation for what Tolkien has created.
