Book Description

June 1998
The Language of the King James Bible by Gail Riplinger $12.95




Demonstrates the precision and power of the KJV.

THIS BOOK reports on recent research from Harvard University which concludes that "The Authorized Version {KJV} emerges from comparison with twentieth-century versions as more attractive and more accurate." (p. 135).

"Even the secular world can spot a counterfeitor. The publishers of the New King James Bible (NKJV) have been charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. They are now paying nearly $400,000 in fines (p. 127).
This book helps you discover the KJV's built-in dictionary.
It also proves that, unlike new versions, the vocabulary of the KJV is precise, internationally recognizable, and contains powerful sound symbolism to communicate meaning.
It reveals the discovery of the world's oldest New Testament fragment which proves that the KJV is correct and the new versions are wrong.
Also exposed are the corrupt Dead Sea Scrolls and lexicons used to create the TNIV, NIV, ESV, NKJV, HCSB, and NASB.


LEARN HOW:


The King James Bible contains God's Built-in Dictionary, defining each word, in its context, using the very words of the Webster's and Oxford English Dictionaries !


The King James Bible has a vocabulary and reading level which slowly builds progressively from Genesis to Revelation.


The King James Bible uses words with the appropriate sound symbolism. It has a vocabulary that phonaesthetically fulfills the Bible's own description of itself as "powerful."

The King James Bible is the only extant access we have to the pure language lexicons of the 16th and 17th centuries.

The King James Bible gives a transparent view of the Greek and Hebrew vocabulary, grammar and syntax.


The King James Bible has internationally recognizable vocabulary and spelling.


The King James Bible uses literary devices which enhance doctrinally important concepts and memorability.


The King James Bible has a sentence structure which enhances accurate doctrinal interpretation.


The King James Bible's words and sentences are patterned and woven through its fabric so as to provide a consistency of form and content.


The King James Bible has the precision and longevity of the legal document that it is. (To be equitable all English speaking persons must be judged by the same criteria.)

How it all began...
THE RESEARCH presented in this introduction to the language of the Bible was prompted by a story of one Christian prisoner's phenomenal leap in reading test scores, as a result of reading the King James Bible.

He was advised that he was reading at the fifth grade level when he put his name on a long waiting list to enroll in the prison's high school equivalency program. He then began reading the King James Bible daily. Re-examination the next year showed that he was now reading at the 17th grade level -- post graduate!

How did reading one book, which some falsely claim is difficult, manage to help him, rather than frustrate him? This book answers that and many more questions you may have about the King James version.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting study of the English language, April 24, 2000
This review is from: The Language of the King James Bible (Paperback)
This book is intended to demonstrate the superiority of the King James Version of the Holy Bible over other versions available today. This is not a scholarly production, but it is very interesting to read.

In this book, Riplinger reminds the reader of the nuances of the English language. I was surprised to discover how much English grammar is not taught today. For instance, Riplinger points out that there are specific differences between the words "shall" and "will", and between "thou", "thee", "ye", and "you".

The part of the book that does deal with the language of the King James Bible is very interesting, and demonstrates the superiority of that translation.

However, a portion of the book reverts to tactics used in Riplinger's _New Age Bible Versions_, including ad hominem argumentation, and other weaker methods of proving a point.

In summary, reading this book should prove to be an educational experience for many. It certainly demonstrates that much of the English language is not taught to man today (which I suppose is partly due to our own complacency with the language).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Language of the King James Bible (Paperback)
This is a great book!There are so many overlooked ways to gleen truth from our Bibles and keys to better understanding.Gail has set forth the keys, not to teach us HER truth, but to point us to our Bibles and GODS truth. I would highly recommend it.
