The King James Version Defended

By Edward F. Hills

Book Overview

2026 Legacy Edition

God has revealed himself to man, that we might know him - not things about him -- but that we might know him as the one true God, and our God.

His first revelation came through the things that are made. The heavens, the earth, the sun, moon, and stars proclaim daily, "The hand that made us is divine " This revelation, though universally given, is not salvific.

God's saving revelation came through the inspiration of scripture (i.e., God "breathed" his heavenly words onto the sacred page). Because God is the author of scripture, it is, by nature, infallible.

Sadly, the veracity of God's testimony is sometimes called into doubt due to innocent errors made while hand-copying manuscripts. We also know that certain evildoers changed some readings with ill intent.

Today, most Christians look to "the experts" and their archaeological discoveries for some assurance that we still have a sufficient portion of God's word. A better approach, however, is presented in this volume.

It begins with the assumption that God preserved the words he inspired so that his people, in every generation, could hear their Shepherd's voice. This preservation was accomplished not by way of miracle, but through the mystery of divine providence.

Believing this, the ordinary Christian may apply the logic of faith to arrive at a place of maximum certainty that he holds in his hands, today, what the prophets and the apostles originally wrote in the Received Texts of the Old and New Testament and through reliable translations like the Authorized (King James) Version.

King James Defended

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.
