Customer Reviews

excellent book on the Bible version debate

This book is an excellent reply to KJV-only types. The authors explain the origin of the Bible in a way that is accurate and understandable.

Great Overview!

I've read several books of this type and to date this is the best one. I've also read several of the critiques of this work by those who hold to the King James ONLY position and find their position contradictory and severely lacking scholarship. This book is scholarly where it needs to be and readable when it needs to be - in contrast to the bulk of those who criticize it. I commend the book for those who are desireous of an introduction to this vital subject.

Excellent Judgement

THis book contains excellent scholarship and the attitude that is communicated is above reproach. I have personally listened to some of these writers in various teaching postions, and they are men of excellent character and wisdom. This book is written with the intent to inform and correct faulty information, not necessarily to persuade someone to convert to their same position. I whole heartedly endorse this book.

Retitled: From the Mind and Heart of God...

Measured, wise, concise, logical, reasoned, and perhaps most importantly, a spiritual book by twelve fundamentalist pastors. In don't know that one will find a better book on the subject of Bible versions. If you are interested in the Bible version controversy, but you don't read this book, you remain in relative ignorance. I exhort all interested in finding the truth on this issue, to read this book....

Excelent book to bridge the Rift in Fundemental Circles.

Splendly written! These brethren explain the isuses of Inspiration and Preservation exquistly. This book is a MUST for ANY Bible College "Bible Interp" type class. A must read for any B.B.F. Pastor and any F.B.F. Pastor too. It is especally necessary to ANY Fundemental Baptist Missionary that will be doing ANY translation work.Don't be affraid to read the truth.
