I first read this book for over 20 years ago and lately I have had occasion to read it again. This book is unsurpassed in defending the Greek text underlying the King James as the Word of God and the King James as the best translation available in English.

We have not just departed from the King James Bible but rather we have departed from the Gospel of Christ and exchanged it for a lie. You may ask how is this so? By accepting the lies of so called "neutral scholarship" we have undermined every truth the Scriptures teach. If the authority of the Scriptures may be questioned, and it is questioned by the dishonest and arbitrary judgment of "most ancient manuscripts" or "the best manuscripts" in over 6,000 places in the New Testament, how can we know anything the Bible says is true.

Has God preserved His Word pure in every age down to the present day or was it hidden in a trash can in a monestary for about 1500 years until it was discovered by Tischendorf and finally restored to us by B. F. Westcott and F. J. A. Hort? It can not be argued that these men denied the verbal plenary inspiration of the Scriptures and felt they had perfect liberty to treat The Holy Bible like any other book of ancient literature.

Would God have so little concern for His Word to abandon it for such a long time and be unable to do anything about it until he was forced permit reprobate scholarship to finally discover it. Psalms 138:2, and many other places, says NO!

If the Church is to see a revival in our day she must abandon the humanistic philosophy "Ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil (Gen 3:5)" behind "reprobate" textual criticism and uncompromisingly embrace the Truth.

For those who can't stand Dr. Peter Ruckman (although I support him), and for those who find Dean John William Burgon's books too weighty and technical, there is no greater substitute than Dr. Edward Freer Hills. I consider Dr. Hills' book one of the top five in defending and vindicating our Authorized Version.

In this book you will find a Biblical and scholarly gentleman, who honors Christ and upholds the word of truth, give a detailed history of the King James Authorized Version and textual criticism. You will find many good reasons why we believe in the KJV above all other versions and you will find why modern versions and their Greek texts are in error.

Though many in the anti-KJV camp go after and find fault with Ruckman's "bad language and attitude" and Gail Riplinger's "mistakes" and "misquotes", they are hard pressed to find much in Dr. Hills' book that they can answer or deal with or criticize.

Dr. Hill's book is for the Bible-believing gentleman, who doesn't like to name call and doesn't have to quote anybody to defend and fight for the King James Bible. In this book, you will find all you need to be that kind of Christian gentleman with very few rough edges, but very many reasons and facts to back up why you believe the old KJV.

This book belongs on every Christian's bookshelf!

when i was young
i read
literature of the 'niv' class
or
class of 'message'
now i am
changed man
ready to read from the Real Thing!

now i am into deeper things
into company of men
that i want to be
those that read
Authorized
King James Bible
and writings by Devoted
to reach out for fullness

'when my Faith is
more than my God
then i doubt gravely
when God is more Real
than my Faith in Him
when my God is Revealing Himself
to me as he is in me
teaching me what i am in Him

in Scriptures and Gospel
of our Saviour Jesus Christ
and our Faith in Him
is not of our Mind's make
but by the Grace of His Holy Ghost
that is in Textus Receptus and
Authorized King James Bible
that our Lord Jesus Christ gave us

Holy Bible is
God's Revelation
is a Revelation of Himself
not only About Himself
as was found by Christian Reformers
who brought to us His Grace
and took us to Power
of the Word of God

All is Inward Work of the Holy Ghost
bearing Witness by and
with the Word in our hearts
God is Truth... God is Living Person
Divine Revelation of Himself
not 'orthodoxy and piety' nor of
'neutral world of scholars'
not lost in 'rationalism' of godless'

This is one of the best books I have ever read this subject.
I recommend it to everyone that wants to know which Bible is the right Bible.
