My first approach to understanding the KJV was looking up the meaning
of the many odd forms of words in there, coupled with other translations
to help me understand verses I struggled on. But that took so much time
and it's not effective for reading straight through.
The Solution: I am reading a book titled A History of The English Language
by Albert C. Baugh and Thomas Cable. It will allow me to understand
the foundation and structure of the English language (hopefully without having
to learn German ) so I can better read the best English version of our Holy Bible
