Via Scalzi: Bart D. Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, an examination of the highly, ah, evolutionary nature of "the" Bible.

I didn't know King James Version had actually been translated back and forth between Greek and Latin. That's amusingly like the process used on the film script for Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451; in that case, the repeated translation between French and English was apparently done to remove nuance from the language for the purpose of emulating an impoverished culture.
