. Modern critics are surprised by just how little Webster changed the King James Bible. His revision was very light as he did not want to make the language wholly contemporary, but rather wanted to correct flaws he disagreed with as an educator. Other, less orthodox Americans were bringing out their own versions of the New Testament, but he had no interest in theologically-motivated changes. The problem with the older books was confusion on the part of readers as the language styles had been evolving over the years and a lot of meaning of the text in this bible were being lost on the average reader. Some passages were misunderstood. Grammar had evolved as well and the above changes made an easier read while purifying the language and made it more delicate. EXTERNAL LINKS
