Item Description...
Product Description
An alarming expose' documenting the reasons for the differences between the modern translations of the Bible and the historical translations of the Bible such as the 1611 King James Bible, and other older Bible versions. Numerous illustrations of these significant differences are presented, and the myth that the differences in modern versions are mainly due to synonym choices and language changes is dispelled. The casting aside of the traditional Greek New Testament text which is the basis of the historic versions by Tyndale, Luther, Coverdale, and others is maticulously documented. Also carefully documented is the process which produced the radically differenct Greek text of the modern versions including an analysis of textual criticism. The completely unscientific basis of the methods of textual criticism are also exposed, and evidence that the traditional Greek text is actually much older than the newer critical text of the modern versions is presented. The work is carefully footnoted and includes a complete and comprehensive bibliography and index.

Not having read any more of the book than what is available in the sneak preview, I turn my attention to an ad hominem against the author.
Dr. Jones is an engineer by profession, which automatically disqualifies him from pontificating on biblical textual matters. Furthermore, he is a creationist, which renders him hopelessly biased against the settled truths of textual evolution. And finally, his mindless adherence to the perfection of the King James Version renders him blind to its obvious flaws, as found in:
I Samuel 13:1 "Saul reigned one year"
I Samuel 13: 21 "Yet they had a file"
Revelation 17:8 "and yet is"
Revelation 21:19 "book of life"
II Chronicles 36:9 "Jehoiachin was eight years old" | | |  | Comprehensive, Informative, and Well Written Jun 30, 2000 |
| As a seminary student at one of the most conservative seminaries in the Southern Baptist Convention I experienced in my first year nearly every antic dote about seminaries Dr. Jones mentions in his book. During that same time I heard numerous professors and others who support the critical text insist that such things "never" happen at seminaries. Remarkably, due to my own personal research, I was often more knowledgeable than many of my professors on the subject of textual criticism and Bible versions. Being a degreed, licensed, and practicing engineer experienced in the scientific method, I found that these "experts" almost always lacked the ability to be truly objective and recognize the illogical, grossly unscientific reasoning of the methods employed in textual criticism. Even more remarkable is that I find the "experts" and "scholars" are the least interested in engaging in an objective discussion on the matter, and many pastors do not consider the subject significant. Most seem to consider the issue a technical argument over fine details - thinking that if it were all that important their seminary professors would have informed them. In reality the subject is never covered in the vast majority of seminary degree plans including the Ph. D. degree plans, and if covered only minuscule introductory generalities are discussed. I truly believe the church is experiencing the fulfillment of Isaiah 29:14, "... for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid." I encourage every believer to read Dr. Jones' book, weigh the evidence, reach your own conclusion, and do not be intimidated by anyone who disagrees just because they hold an "authoritative" degree.

I encourage every believer to read Dr. Jones' book, weigh the evidence, reach your own conclusion, and do not be intimidated by anyone who disagrees just because they hold an "authoritative" degree. Now 2 1/2 years after writing this review,serving during that time as pastor of a small church in southeast Texas, and obtaining another degree myself, I have found no change in the matter. One of the most astounding things to me is the visceral reactions from "scholars" and "academia," so much so that I have come to lothe to be labeled a "scholar," which often occurs because of my position. The title has become something of a pejorative to me because of the lack of objectivity and pragmatism from scholarship in not only the discipline under discussion here, but also in so many others - more of Isaiah 29:14. Never do they reply with any objectivity or logic. The usual reply has something to do with them declaring their own expertise as the reason they are "right." There is rarely if ever any pragmatic response. Perhaps also because relatively few people care much about the actual seriousness of the issue. Barry D. Adkins, MBA, M. Div., B.S.
