Some Christians proclaim that the King James Bible alone is inspired. The author refutes this view, explaining how texts differ and are used in translation. Very good and short book. Having been written fifteen and a score years ago, it probably would benefit from a second edition; but it tells something about KJVists (and TRists) that its arguments remain quite convincing, even if some of its opponents can hardly refrain from writing a diatribe per day. Being short has its drawbacks. White’s book on the same subject has more historical context, and Carson also fails to define a few technical terms he employs; but anyone baffled by them owns himself a quick Google search. I would so wish defenders of the Byzantine text type would relent and allow us to be true Christians. D.A. Carson puts forth an objective, reasoned discourse explaining the errors in KJV-Onlyism and how KJV-Only extremists (ex. -- Peter Ruckman, Gail Riplinger, Jack Chick, David Otis Fuller, D. A. Waite, etc.) fail in their attempts at textual criticism to support their pro-KJV Only position. Carson manages to refute all the major points KJV-Only proponents raise concerning translational issues, nontextual questions and textual criticism. Probably his harshest criticism is aimed at those who use historically and scholarly specious methods as well as irrational and illogical argumentation to claim KJV superiority over modern translations. His research is throrough and impeccable, however don't let the briefness of the book deceive you into thinking there isn't much information therein. Carson packs plenty of reliable information into his book in an easy-to-understand manner. This is a good book to have onhand to refute extremists in the King James Only movement. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
