The Language of the King James Bible
The Language of the King James Bible by Gail Riplinger $12.95
Demonstrates the precision and power of the KJV.
THIS BOOK reports on recent research from Harvard University which concludes that "The Authorized Version {KJV} emerges from comparison with twentieth-century versions as more attractive and more accurate." (p. 135).
"Even the secular world can spot a counterfeitor. The publishers of the New King James Bible (NKJV) have been charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. They are now paying nearly $400,000 in fines (p. 127).
This book helps you discover the KJV's built-in dictionary.
It also proves that, unlike new versions, the vocabulary of the KJV is precise, internationally recognizable, and contains powerful sound symbolism to communicate meaning.
It reveals the discovery of the world's oldest New Testament fragment which proves that the KJV is correct and the new versions are wrong.
Also exposed are the corrupt Dead Sea Scrolls and lexicons used to create the TNIV, NIV, ESV, NKJV, HCSB, and NASB.

How it all began...
THE RESEARCH presented in this introduction to the language of the Bible was prompted by a story of one Christian prisoner's phenomenal leap in reading test scores, as a result of reading the King James Bible.
He was advised that he was reading at the fifth grade level when he put his name on a long waiting list to enroll in the prison's high school equivalency program. He then began reading the King James Bible daily. Re-examination the next year showed that he was now reading at the 17th grade level -- post graduate!
How did reading one book, which some falsely claim is difficult, manage to help him, rather than frustrate him? This book answers that and many more questions you may have about the King James version.

The insight about the built in dictionary was a new thought for me. In addition how it helped readers improve their reading level.

I loved this book. For anyone who wanted to read the original King James Version of the Bible this book it a must. Gail Riplinger shows you how easy it is to read the "old english" most people associate with the Bible and also eye-opening information about the other versions out there claiming to make the Bible easier to understand with their "translations."
