The King James version is nice English but a poor translation, at least of the Hebrew books. As literature, it's interesting; teaching it in its historical context would have some didactic use, but I'm not sure of any other point. As a Jew, I'm naturally suspicious of any right-wing Christian attempt to shove their religion down my (or anyone else's) throat.
