As Disraeli said, when you give people education without also giving them religion, you only make them into more clever devils.
“...when the team of 47 of the top Bible scholars of the time finished their work.”
A point in its favor. Most modern editions are the translation of one person, meaning that personal preferences can’t be avoided.
Remember that the KJV that is common now was the revised version from the 19th century. You couldn’t read an actual original one today, too much of the language has changed.
Pretty prescient of Disraeli
"Educate people without religion and you make them but clever devils."-- Benjamin Disraeli
