Description: Modern Bible translations still come under attack from the King James Only camp. In this revision of a book continually in print for more than ten years, James R. White traces the development of Bible translations old and new, investigating the differences between versions like the NIV, NASB, and NKJV and the Authorized Version of 1611. Written with the layperson in mind, The King James Only Controversy leads the reader through the basic issues of the debate and into the more complex issues of textual criticism. Enlightening reading for all Christians.

"Why a second edition? Fourteen years since the writing of the original has seen not only developments in the textual critical field, but the King James Only advocates have been writing books in that time as well, most of which seek to respond to my work. Some key examples, plus an expanded bibliography, bring the work up to date on that level. Further, those advocates have attempted to raise counter examples, and so the number of passages addressed in the work is expanded. During that time I have addressed this topic so many times that I have developed a number of useful illustrations to help the layperson understand the key issues, and these are included in the work as well. Finally, the explosion onto the scene of Bart Ehrman and his works on the New Testament are noted as well. As a result, the next edition of The King James Only Controversy will provide a valuable addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the trustworthiness of the New Testament today."
—James R. White, explaining his reasoning for a revision of this book

"A valuable resource that is understandable and dependable. Best of all, the book is spiritually edifying."
--Dr. John MacArthur, Senior Pastor, Grace Community Church

"Sober, scholarly, courteous, and convincing."
--Dr. J. I. Packer, Board of Governors' Professor, Theology, Regent College

"This book should be read by all who are embroiled in the controversy."
--Dr. D. A. Carson, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"A clear, compelling, and conclusive case contradicting the claims of 'KJV-only' advocates. Your confidence in God's preservation of Scripture through credible translations such as the NIV and NASB will be solidified."
--Hank Hanegraaff, President, Christian Research Institute
