Win The History Of The King James Bible And The People Called Baptist Imagined By William R. Byers Released As Hardcover
wonderful book. Easytounderstand, yet rich content. Makes me so thankful for the King James Bible, No book has had such hatred shown toward it as God's Word has, This is a mustread book! "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
" Heb.:i wanna read it
I could only give this book four generous, It well written and is more like reading the text of five sermons on the KJV and Independent Baptists than a literal history book, Throughout the book Byers continually refers to the KJV and the Textus Receptus as the perfect preserved Word of God: one inth century English and one in Greek.
Byers is most definitely a King James Onlyist and brings that out on practically every page of the book, Some of his reasons for being such I can understand, but many of his reasons could just as easily be applied to the readers favorite Bible translation, Also, Byers views on the history he presents are most definitely slanted by his views on the TR vs all other Greek manuscripts, He has absolutely nothing good to say about these other manuscripts or the Bible translations based on them, In his reckoning they are ALL corrupt as are those who worked on those translations,
Over all its not a bad book and is easy to read, hence the four, However, it is heavily colored and slanted by the authors own personal obsessions, Not a bad book if youre just looking for a quick read, but if you are looking for an objective view of the subject matter you wont find it here.
This book is,from Church Bible Publishers. I didnt see it listed on Amazon, com. The author conveys in a most convincing manner why the King James Bible is still God's pure Word for the English speaking world today, Written in a nontechnical, downtoearth manner, it is easy to read, You will find yourself challenged to better serve the Lord with the light you have received, The knowledge that is put forth in this great book will also encourage you to stand stronger on the Word of God and to read and believe its truths.
