The Rev. Fleming Rutledge thinks the Authorized Version can teach us something about preaching:
As a preacher I have special interest in the shaping of sentences for maximum impact, and Prof. Harrison has a lot to say about this. For example, “…[the King James Bible] ends most of its verses with emphatic metrical stresses or resounding words...” I have struggled to impart some of this to students of preaching, but with limited success because most of them have never heard sentences like the ones Harrison is describing.
