    I've search and haven't found a convincing non-biased explanation of the differences between the Pure Cambridge Edition and the Authorized Version. Which do you all recommend and why?

    These are virtually the same if you were to compare them word for word. The differences are probably fewer than 0.1% of the text and are not related to meaning, but punctuation or capitalization. One might have a word capitalized and the other doesn't. In my view Pure Cambridge made some unnecessary edits, for instance if a word in the original 1611 was capitalized and the current KJV is capitalized then it seems weird to have it lower case in a 'purified' version which seemed to mostly come from one man. I don't consider punctuation to be a major issue, doesn't change meaning, and both are God's Word.
