Willaim Tyndale - Parallel to Luther's German Bible - Not a Copycat

 

 Tyndale and Luther did not create the deceptive and foolish "make disciples" paraphrase of the Great Commission. Similar pratfalls are found in the modernized German Bible and the hideous NIV, ESV, RSV, NRSV, and Beck (rhymes with Yuk).

Tyndale and the KJV

In 1525, William Tyndale, an English contemporary of Martin Luther, undertook a translation of the New Testament. Tyndale's translation was the first printed Bible in English. Over the next ten years, Tyndale revised his New Testament in the light of rapidly advancing biblical scholarship, and embarked on a translation of the Old Testament. Despite some controversial translation choices, and in spite of Tyndale's execution on charges of heresy for having made the translated Bible, the merits of Tyndale's work and prose style made his translation the ultimate basis for all subsequent renditions into Early Modern English.

“Since Tischendorf lied so many times about Codex Sinaiticus, what does that suggest about his earlier work with Codex Ephraim Rescriptus - and his later work embracing Codex Vaticanus?” “How does anyone explain Sinaiticus having white, supple pages after resting unknown for 15 centuries?” — From Questions to be asked while reading this book.

“The most read English Bible is the King James Version, with 55% of the readers, compared to 19% for the latest New International Version, the English Standard Version, and the New Revised Standard Version… The KJV also received almost 45 percent of the Bible translation-related searches on Google, compared with almost 24 percent for the NIV, according to Bible Gateway’s Stephen Smith.” — From the Preface.

Level of Difficulty: Primer: No subject matter knowledge needed.

Review from an unknown reader on Amazon

“Gregory L Jackson PhD is a Lutheran theologian, teacher, and pastor. He received a STM degree in Biblical studies from Yale in 1973 and he earned a Master’s degree and a PhD in theology at the University of Notre Dame in 1982…

“In this book, Dr Jackson demonstrates that “modern” Bible translations (such as the RSV and NIV) are neither inspired nor trustworthy. They are based on defective texts, translated by faithless men… Constantine Tischendorf with his ‘discovery’ of Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus which he claimed were the world’s oldest and best Bibles, Westcott and Hort with their redacted Greek New Testament which removed references to miracles and the divinity of Jesus, and Eugene Nida with his dynamic-equivalent, paraphrase translations in which essential doctrines are watered-down…” Review by “Amazon Customer”

The Book Has Shipped - The King James Version: Apostolic Texts Precise Translation versus Fraudulent Texts and Heretical Translations

 Artist Norma A. Boeckler designed the covers and the text of The King James Version.

The KJV books will start arriving soon. Then I will take the first KJV effort out of production, which will make that one incredibly valuable! (Maybe)

One day I found the link to all the book reviews. It was really gratifying to see that so many took the time to write reviews. 

Here is the entire book in its free PDF form.

 Janie Sullivan works on the final production of each new book - invaluable in making everything better and spotting typos.

KJV 2 - In Production

This Is the Final PDF. 

Feel free to share it with others.

Janie Sullivan has sent the new book to Amazon for printing and the Kindle version. That takes a few days to finish, under the watchful eye of HAL 9000.

The original has been rewritten and enlarged by 50% - almost 300 pages.

I am tired of superficial people knocking a Bible they know so slightly, so I gathered 10+ pages of praise for the King James Version. That is at the front of the book, where it belongs.

I also have an extensive list of books at the end, which will help people do similar research. I added notes to that list because I realized how much I had to learn to get the new version completed.

There are two major parts. The first one includes more information and appreciation concerning the KJV. 

The second part exposes the modern New Testament text (pieced together from fraudulent and dubious sources). When people the extent of the deception, they will be enraged or appalled. 

Below are four ladies who did so much to make this happen. Member Randy Anderson began supporting the writing efforts, which allowed me to stop relying on extra work. Many others have done the same. 

 Norma A. Boeckler created the covers and illustrations.

 Janie Sullivan went over the final version to fix errors and send it on to Amazon and Kindle.

 Virginia Roberts is the champion of proof-reading.

 

 Christina cheered on every writing project.
