The KJV is almost an anthology/sampler of Elizabethan literature. If you can really understand it, Shakespeare is not a challenge. Both were written to be remembered and recited. Few could read, but everyone could memorize and repeat. People can quote the KJV and Shakespeare for the same reason – they were written to be quoted, as research has proved.

I love the KJV because it uses the same language and syntax as Shakespeare, not to mention the poetry and imagery.

What I also find intriguing is the people who can quote the KJV chapter and verse and swear on a stack that they understand every word and know the true intent of God in every syllable (as long as it fits into their particular agenda such as kill the queers and save Terri Schiavo) are the same people who can’t sit through a production of Hamlet because they can’t understand what’s being said.

The sad fact is that many of these people believe there is only one religion, theirs, and everything else is a cult.

I like the King James version, too. Although, I haven’t read much of it since youth.
It’s pretty funny that the school was giving out bibles during school hours… I guess they think all the kids need religion… and perhaps, they don’t realize Catholicism is a religion.

It’s amazing how many parts were never taught in Sunday school.
