I second the suggestion of a study Bible. They can be very useful for providing historical and cultural context that would be difficult to know otherwise, whether or not the reader has a Christian background and/or familiarity with the bible.
KJV might be quite hard work (not a judgement on you, just I don't find it so easy to understand personally), but I recognise it has historic and linguistic value. Maybe try having a flick through some different versions to see how you find them.
Also, I too was unaware of this second definition. Glad to have learnt it!
mundane
1.
lacking interest or excitement; dull.
2.
of this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one.
