We want an informal God, no better educated then ourselves, with a limited vocabulary and a taste for modern slang.’ ... God is bigger than you are, dear friend, and the Bible version which you must use is not a matter for you to decide according to your whims and prejudices. It has already been decided for you by the workings of God’s special providence. If you ignore this providence and choose to adopt one of the modern versions, you will be taking the first step in the logic of unbelief.” --Edward F. Hills, The King James Version Defended, pp. 242, 243 “My apology for bestowing so large a portion of my time on Textual Criticism, is David’s when he was reproached by his brethren for appearing on the field of battle,--‘Is there not a cause?’” -- John William Burgon, 1883 “Driving through Birmingham, England, I passed an ‘establishment’ called ‘The Artful Dodger’. And, frankly, there is not a better way to describe Textual Criticism. It shifts, it turns, it establishes, it overturns, it rewrites, it restates, it examines, it ignores, etc.” --Jack Moorman, A Closer Look: Early Manuscripts and the Authorized Version, p. 9 “We have a clear choice between one of two diverging pathways, the road of faith or the road of human reason and unbelief. Do we begin with the Word of God or do we begin with the word of men? This is the question and it has in the first instance little to do with texts, but with the faithfulness of our God. ... For it to be of any use, textual study must be grounded upon what the Bible already says about itself. If we do not begin with the Word of God, we shall never end with it!” --David W. Norris, The Big Picture “We must not permit our judgment to be overawed by great names in the realm of biblical ‘scholarship’ when it is so clearly evident that the distinguished scholars of the present century are merely reproducing the case presented by rationalists during the last two hundred years.” -- Terence Brown, Trinitarian Bible Society 5 Contents Assignments ................................................................................................. 7 Introduction .................................................................................................. 9 Why We Hold to the King James Bible ..................................................... 29 I.

Because of the evil fruit of the modern versions .................. 720 Textual Checklists ................................................................................... 762 Suggested Resources ............................................................................... 770 6 Assignments 1. Read the two companion books to this course: The Modern Bible Version Question-Answer Database and The Modern Bible Version Hall of Shame, available from Way of Life Literature. 2. Memorize the following verses: Psalm 12:6-7 Psalm 119:89 Psalm 119:160 Psalm 138:2 Matt. 5:18 Matt. 24:35 1 Pet. 1:23 3. Each student must write the first three chapters of the Gospel of John by hand, then count the mistakes and see what sort they are. By comparing all of the copies made the students in one class, it will become evident that normal copying errors can be corrected with relative ease simply by comparing manuscripts. For example, if a word is omitted or misspelled by one student, it will probably be correct in the other copies. Likewise, if a student tried to add or delete something maliciously, this could be detected by comparing all of the copies together. 4. Compare the following verses in the KJV and three modern versions of your choice (not counting the NKJV): John 1:27 John 3:13 Acts 8:37 Acts 20:28 Romans 14:10 1 Corinthians 15:47 Ephesians 3:9 Colossians 1:14 1 Timothy 3:16 1 Timothy 6:5 Hebrews 1:3 7 Note to Teachers and Readers 1. This material is designed to be taught either as one course or to be divided into a basic and an advanced segment. a. The basic segment is Parts I - V. b. The advanced segment is Parts VI - X, with additional material added at the teacher’s discretion from the two companion books, The Modern Bible Version Hall of Shame and The Modern Bible Version Question-Answer Database, or from any additional source of his choosing. In fact, an entire third course could be made up from material in The Modern Bible Version Question-Answer Database. 2. Material from the two companion books can be used at any point during the course. 3. The Review Questions and the tests are an important part of the learning process. The Review Questions at the end of each Part help the students to analyze the material properly and to focus on the most important points that have been covered in the classes. The sectional tests are composed of questions culled from the sectional reviews. This is a further step in focusing the student on the most important points of the course. The final test is composed of the most important questions culled from the sectional tests. Thus the final test covers, in our estimation, the most important points of the entire course, the mimimum number of things that the student should know by heart so that he can defend the preserved Word of God today. 4. Faith vs. the Modern Bible Versions is also designed for private study and can be used effectively outside of a class situation. Though designed as a course, it reads like a book and does not necessarily require a teacher. Again, the Review Questions are an important part of the learning process and if the book is studied privately we urge the student to take the time to answer all of the Review Questions so that the material will be more practically digested. 5. An important resource to compliment this course is the graphical edition of “In the Footsteps of Bible Translators,” available at the Way of Life web site -- See http://www.wayoflife.org/ fbns/in-thefootsteps-bibletrans/. This is the fruit of two research trips to Great Britain and Europe and it contains a wealth of information together with photographs and video clips of sites pertaining to the history of the Bible, including those pertaining to John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Erasmus, and the King James Bible.

Professeur Jean-François ROUSSEL, membre du jury Professeur Peter GALADZA, examinateur externe iii Abstract In 1993, the church of Humor Monastery and six other churches from northern Moldavia (Romania) were classified as UNESCO Patrimony, due to their unique iconographical and architectural features. Built in the sixteenth-century, Humor Monastery became a rich and vital cultural religious center under the patronage of Prince Petru Rares of Moldavia. This center encouraged ecclesial architectural innovations, as well as an extraordinarily prolific program of frescoes, both internally and externally, expressing creativity beyond the canon of painting of the time. This dissertation focuses on understanding these architectural and iconographical innovations, in the light of the historical context that gave rise to this unique moment in Moldavian history, in the century following the Fall of Constantinople (1453).

  • The Gospel Record
    The LIGHT of TRUTH Early Proof Texts of the Gospel Record W. Michael McCormack All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2015 W. Michael McCormack For more information on this topic, see: Killing the Bible, by W. Michael McCormack Available at www.Amazon.com THE GOSPEL RECORD What if we had no Bibles? Many people in the world don’t. What do they do? How do they relate to God and each other? Those who hold to the idea of living within a civilization follow whoever “seems” to have the truth concerning how to live. Their religion is socialized. Even in the United States, most are not really dedicated to their religion. It is a social convention. True Christians are more than social. We are radicals,—radical lovers of people who want to spread the Good News. The Gospel record avails us much and encourages us more. Genuine Christians believe that the Bible is God’s revelation to man. In other words, the Bible is the only place where we can get accurate information about God, mankind’s need for God and how provision for that need can be found. It offers guidance for daily life and directions on how to claim eternal life. One writer has commented that the Bible is where God has condensed his thoughts about his relationship with mankind into written form for our understanding and acceptance of him. It is not everything about God and not everything about mankind, but it is enough for us to understand that we can live together happily ever after. And, there is no ancient text with more archeological veracity than our Bible, as we shall see.

    Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register BODMER LIBRARY 2014-48 1.0 Abstract (max 200 words) With over 150,000 manuscripts, printed books, drawings and archeological pieces, the Bodmer Library is the result of nearly a century of acquisitions and research conducted by the creator of the collection, Martin Bodmer, between 1916 and 1971: this exceptional bibliophile was able to materialize – a unique case in the world – Goethe’s concept of “Weltliteratur” by compiling, among others, prestigious copies, ancient and rare, of big names in literature, religion, history or science. This “spiritual bastion” has become the refuge of an impressive procession of authors and immortal texts from all major civilizations since the dawn of writing until the twentieth century. 2.0 Author 2.1 Name of nominator (person or organization) Martin Bodmer Foundation – Library and Museum 2.2 Relationship to the nominated documentary heritage Owner 2.3 Contact person(s) (to provide information on nomination) - Prof. Jacques Berchtold, Director of the Foundation - M.

The Foundation, through which the collection was perpetuated, pursues its work until the present time.

However the collection also includes one seventeenth-century return (D7/1/1A). As a result of the cataloguing process on the diocesan material carried out in the RCB Library, it was discovered to be in Marsh's Library, Dublin, where it had been transferred for safe keeping until reclaimed.

  • A History of Unitarianism: in Transylvania, England and America Volume II (1952)
    A History of Unitarianism: In Transylvania, England and America Volume II (1952) This text was taken from a 1977 Beacon Press edition of Wilbur’s book and was made possible through the generous and kind permission of Earl Morse Wilbur’s family, with whom the copyright resides. PREFACE THE AUTHOR'S earlier work, A History of Unitarianism: Socinianism and Its Antecedents (Cambridge, 1945) was designed, though no indication was given in the preface or elsewhere, as the first of two volumes on the general subject. The present volume therefore is to be taken as the second or complementary volume of the work, and any cross-references to the former work are given as to Volume 1. The present book has been written with constant reference to available sources, and the author's obligation to various persons for valued help given still stand; but further acknowledgment is here made to Dr. Alexander Szent-Ivanyi, sometime Suffragan Bishop of the Unitarian Church in Hungary, who has carefully read the manuscript of the section on Transylvania and made sundry valued suggestions; to Dr. Herbert McLachlan, formerly Principal of the Unitarian College, Manchester, who has performed a like service for the chapters of the English section; and to Dr. Henry Wilder Foote for his constant interest and for unnumbered services of kindness in the course of the whole work I can not take my leave of a subject that has engaged my active interest for over forty-five years, and has furnished my chief occupation for the past fifteen years, without giving expression to the profound gratitude I feel that in spite of great difficulties and many interruptions I have been granted life and strength to carry my task through to completion.
