A look at the King James Version and its role in the church today. This is a brief answer to the "King James Version only" movement. It expresses support and even admiration for the KJV, but also notes that it is an older translation with archaic language, and that it was translated before many of our most important discoveries in the area of Biblical manuscripts and languages were made. It is designed to be printed on 8 1/2 x 14 paper and folded in four. |
