There was a time when the KJV translation was considered the greatest work in the English language, ahead of Shakespeare.

But that was before the libs began a systematic destruction of the English language and religion.

Some wonder why people still the preferred the Geneva Bible instead of the KJV in the 1600s.
My belief is that the KJV was printed in OLD ENGLISH
lettering while the Geneva used the easy to read italic or gothic font.
Not sure if it is Italic or gothic. But or is easier to read than the first KJVs.

My Grandfather attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. around 1912.

He could translate Latin and Greek but not Aramaic or Hebrew. He once told me that the KJV was an unusually accurate translation.

There are rumors and speculation that Shakespeare had some hand in the writing. Here is an article on that topic:

Did Shakespeare Slip His Name in Psalm 46?
