Maybe I should clarify. KJV refers to the "King James Version" of the Bible, in English, albeit archaic. Paine, of course, was the American Revolutionary War writer, again in English.
Paine was vigorously and continually attacked after writing The Age of Reason. It made a lot of people very angry. Jefferson, and several others, advised him not to publish.
One of the few high school reading assignments I actually enjoyed.
