The writer of the piece, in his ignorance, said that the King James Version was difficult for some folks because it was written in Old English. Folks like that give tranditionalist theologians a bad name.

As I noted, the KJV was written in Early Modern English, as was the Geneva Bible. I attached excerpts written in Old English and in Middle English (think of the English classes where you had to read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the original form) so that folks could see how off base the writer was.
