Many revisions of the King James (Authorized) Bible of 1611 exist;
even revisions of revisions have been done (ASV to NASB / RV to RSV
/ KJV to NKJV, etc.). The present work is a similar "hybrid". I
don't know Greek, and am therefore not qualified in the slightest
to actually translate (and did not translate a single word). But I
know English (as a professional author) and know the Bible (as a
longtime Christian apologist) very well. This work, accordingly,
isn't technically a new translation at all, but rather a
"selection" or collection of what I personally felt were the best
renderings that maintained the KJV style as much as possible
without the archaisms. When I updated the olde English language, I
sought to maintain a "high" Victorian 18th-19th century style of
(British) English. This NT "selects" from the following six
translations (all in the public domain): 1) KJV (1611; rev. 1769),
2) Rheims (1582; rev. 1750), 3) Young's Literal (1887), 4) Weymouth
(1903), 5) 20th Century (1904), 6) Moffatt (1922).
