Great Book: Anti KJV people miss the point

If you want to know the Truth behind the modern Bibles this is your book. The Anti-KJV people miss the point. It isn't the Translation the KJV advocates are supporting, it's the Text behind it. When will the Anti-KJV people open their eyes and ears?

one of the best

Which Bible? consists of two parts. The first half of the book is a collection of 11 essays on various aspects of the debate, from "The Greek Text of the King James Version," to "A Critical Examination of the Westcott-Hort Textual Theory." This assortment was very interesting, especially to get more of a cross-section of the viewpoints held by those who oppose the Westcott-Hort method of criticism. There is no cookie-cutter stereotype to stuff all "KJV-onlyists" into. Many qualified people oppose the modern approach to biblical texts for many different reasons. The latter half of the book contains "Our Authorized Bible Vindicated," by Benjamin Wilkinson. This was a broad historical portrayal of the history of the Received Text, and its opposition through the centuries. It details events in church history and how the various texts fit into that context. Especially interesting were the details regarding Roman Catholic persecution of Christians who refused to use their corrupted text, as far back as the days of Augustine. Certain portions of this section seemed to jump and skip around, but for the most part it was a straight-forward account, and provided an important context to frame the current questions. Which Bible? is one of the best, almost as good as Edward Hills' "The King James Version Defended." I would definitely recommend it.

The King James and its Ancestors

While the chief thrust of this remarkable little book is concerning the so called King James Version; yet I found its coverage of the historic use of the so called Received Text, and some of its early translations, e.g., the Old Latin, by so many of the non-Catholic Christians and their churches throughout Europe, and in the British Isles, to be very interesting. All in all it makes a good case for the superior quality and authority of the Received Text and those translations founded upon it, culminating in the King James Version of 1611. An informative and useful read. I highly reccomend it to all who are interested in this topic at all. Thank you. Larry L. Burton, West Point, Kentucky

Which Bible Is The True Word Of God?

I have been a Bible Student for some 35 years. After reading Dr. Fullers' book: "Which Bible?", I was glad that my Bible of choice has been the Authorized King James Version since my youth. Dr. Fuller, acting as Editor, has put together a marvelous exposition of Historical and Spiritual Truth relating to our Holy Bible. The information in the pages of this book isn't common knowledge among christians, even though it should be. Nothing is more important than Gods Word and with the factual and historical information given to us by Dr. Fuller, we can read our KJV Bibles with confidence, knowing that the same God who Inspired the Word, is able to Preserve the Word to all generations. I recommend this book to all students of Gods Word. It is without a doubt the best souce available for all those who are honestly seeking the truth on this subject. (dbufkin@rocketmail.com)

The authenticity of the King James Bible

This book provides an exhaustive review of where and how the King James (KJV) Bible came into being. It reviews the manuscripts (the Received Text) from which the KJV originated. Also Fuller exposes and compares the Received Text with the Westscott-Hort Text. Biblical proofs and apologetics are examined concerning the KJV.It is perhaps the best book that I have read concerning the topic of which bible should I use for my spiritual guidance. The information is very informative and rewarding to the bible student.
