Review: HOLY BIBLE, KING JAMES VERSION read by Max McLean

I wouldn't dare review the content, so I'll just stick to the translation and the performance.

I firmly believe that reading the KJV -- and learning to understand the KJV -- makes you smarter. Unfortunately, that's because it's almost in a foreign language. It was old-fashioned (by design) when it first appeared in 1611, and it's nearly incomprehensible now.

There aren't a lot of Bible versions Max McLean hasn't recorded.  As always, he gives a confident, professional performance, made even more commanding by the translation.

Despite the claims made by its most ardent supporters and its historical importance, the KJV is no longer the best translation available. Despite the great performance, I don't recommend this.
