I was born in 2001 and was raised an atheist. I don't know how many people reading this come from non-Western countries, but certainly in the West there are teens and young adults who don't know what this document says. The KJV is the most important work in the English language and it NEEDS a synopsis! 2603:7000:D03A:5895:F507:553F:D386:B485 (talk) 23:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I suspect the core argument against a KJV specific synopsis is that any synopsis of the Bible is inherently a synopsis of, well, the BIBLE. The only things truly necessary to spell out separate from the synopsis that appears on the page for the Bible as a work in and of itself would be the places where the KJV differs from prior translations, or errors made in the translation that further scholarship can verify. The KJV on its own doesn't warrant a separate synopsis, it's just not all that terribly distinct or unique from other Bibles. 63.149.209.2 (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
