Written by a Bible professor-turned-missionary, this work is an exhaustive examination of the history of the Bible--from the time that it was breathed out by God, through its various stages of transmission, down to its present form. (Christian)
Is There Not A Cause? There are many books written about the Bible, except, this book goes much further. It traces its history to the earliest days. It helps readers to clearly distinguish reliable manuscripts from unreliable ones, all of which were used as a basis for giving us the Bibles of today, and one which has benefitted the English-speaking world as no other. It therefore details how the Authorized or King James Version has influenced English cultures across the globe, including religious revivals, education, science, technology, literature, and everyday phrases still in use to this day. This especially includes addressing the many unsubstantiated claims leveled against it, and remember, it has impacted our world like no modern version, none of which have even come close. Diminishing or even rejecting its One central character, Christ Jesus, is to invite confusion, and/or disillusionment into one’s life concerning the Scriptures. For those who reject Him as the only way to access Heaven via salvation is to deny themselves ultimate entry into Heaven. After all, He truly is the GREATEST OF ALL CAUSES.
Did God preserve His words? Or does my Bible contain errors? If you believe God preserved His words, where can you find them? History shows that there are two streams of Bible texts, and they are not the same. Obviously, both of them cannot be correct. Respected linguist David Daniels proves beyond a doubt how we can know the King James Bible is God's preserved words in English. He answers many of the difficult questions the so-called "experts" throw against the King James. Whether you want to defend the King James Bible or learn which Bible you can trust, you will find the answers here.

Christians universally agree that the Bible is the word of God""in the "original manuscripts." That these manuscripts have long since disappeared is the source of some discord among the Christian Community insomuch as many people question the integrity of the Bibles we now have today. This book was written to affirm that God has providentially preserved His words""from inspiration to publication and distribution, all the way to your local bookstore. Short enough to be read in one evening, this book will give you a biblical perspective of why there are so many Bible versions to choose from""and what to look for when choosing one.
"Divide And Conquer..." is a study in "rightly dividing the word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). The study demonstrates the diametric opposition between the Law program that the Nation of Israel entered into with God, and God's response to her generations of rebellion to the benefit of all mankind who choose surrendering faith over their own works of righteousness for salvation. There is only futility and confusion that believers suffer from when they try to apply the program and promises from a different people to their lives. What an unfortunate blow to one's faith it is to feel as though God is not answering their prayers, to feel like they cannot understand the Bible, and to feel like something is wrong with them. But most damaging is that the love they may have had for the Holy Scriptures at one time diminishes as they struggle from a weak understanding. God Himself fully intends that the excellency of His power work in our inner man through the right understanding of His Word.
This thought-provoking book discusses a scripturally-based view of English Bible translations such as the Geneva Bible, the KJV, and the NKJV. It considers and responds to several KJV-only allegations against the NKJV with many facts from the Geneva Bible, the KJV, and the NKJV. It demonstrates that a consistent application of KJV-only allegations would harm the KJV itself. Problems with inconsistent, human KJV-only reasoning are properly exposed.
In this follow-up book to the landmark From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man, the Text and Translation Committee discusses the historical preservation of the Word of God. The solid facts of the process by which the Bible has come to its present form are explained in detail. The book includes textual criticism of the existing manuscripts and autographs, including the Textus Receptus, the Majority, Eclectic, and Minority texts, and the Masoretic Text. It also provides needed answers to the arguments of those who adhere to extreme or exclusive positions. This book is excellent for pastors, teachers, and laypersons alike. It will prove that all conservative versions are, without a doubt, translations of the plenary verbally inspired Word of God.
It is an interesting fact of history that as the Reformation progressed, the Reformers adopted the Received Text in union with the Waldenses; the Jesuit-inspired counter-Reformation adopted the Latin Vulgate and the Vaticanus. What do we see today? Most of the modern versions are based upon the text of the counter-Reformation. In addition, we see increased negativity toward the Textus Receptus and the King James Version. This has not been without adverse effects upon all of Protestantism and Adventism, specifically. This book provides insights into the causes and effects that the doctrinal pluralism of the common text Bibles of the counter-Reformation have had on Adventist doctrine. Since doctrinally pluralistic Bibles cannot function as self-interpretive units, an interpretive authority from outside of Scripture is brought into play. As a result, creedalism is overtaking Biblical authority. History has demonstrated the sure results of this misplaced authority.
