Yes - The Bible Book Is Already Arriving in the Mail.

One reader already received his copies of  The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God. Not I!

The Kindle edition of The Bible Book is available too, for $1.99. Everything is free or non-profit.

Another reader -who took advantage of the free PDF of The Bible Book available on the masthead - found mistakes!

The first printers had the same problems of all printers and writers. The first edition of any book will have goofy mistakes, no matter what. One early KJV was called The Wicked Bible because the Sixth Commandment was missing the necessary not. The printers were severely fined.

I have already considered a second, enlarged edition, so people can email me mistakes that I could fix in that new edition. Or, they can mark a printed copy as they go along, and mail it to me. I will gladly replace it. 

 The Bible Book is finally done!
But the Bible Book has mistakes!
So did the first KJV Bibles!

At the Editor's - The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God

I sent The Bible Book to our gifted finishing editor, Janie Sullivan - yesterday. She is already working on it this morning. She is familiar with my shortcomings, so she sandpapers the rough places so we get a book with the looks of one from the big publishing houses. Not only that, but Norma A. Boeckler always gives the book a special artistic flair, from the covers to the extra graphics - our modern stained glass windows.

Virginia Roberts was eager to edit the final version and adjust the final details, without the qualms and delays of the author. I can spot my own errors easily - after they are in print.

 Janie Sullivan does exactly what I need in finishing the book.

I was mollified to learn how many typos were in the first King James Version. The Wicked Bible is known for the printers leaving "not" out of the Sixth Commandment. Originals are rare and expensive.

 Virginia Roberts loves to find fault with my typos.
She is also a good indicator of what is worthwhile in a Lutheran book.

Westcott-Hort raged against the Majority (Stephanus) text, also called the Received Text. After 140 years - when the duo posted their barbaric, dishonest Greek New Testament, which is now "The Standard Text" (Kurt Aland), the KJV is still the dominant Bible read, far exceeding the  NIV and ESV.

 These are a few of the 110, inexpensive print editions from Alec Satin - The Lutheran Librarian, plus 275 online books - The Lutheran Library - provided for free.

Now the Firevorks Begin!

My flute teacher was raised in Germany and came over after the war. He never lost his accent, so whenever fast and complicated music came up, he said, "Now the firevorks begin!"

I thought of that teacher as I reached the Luther section of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God. 

As Tolkien might have said, "By chance, if it was chance, the Gutenberg Press was invented at the right time to publish everything Luther wrote. And Luther fed the printing presses of Europe with a volume of writing never matched since the Reformation."

Luther and the printing press arrived so powerfully that the Church of Rome could not kill, torture, imprison, and enslave Evangelicals fast enough to stop the Reformation. The Beast was mortally wounded and never recovered its full strength in promoting error in the name of Mary, Purgatory, the Mass, and the power of the pope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Luther's Commentary of the Heart and Soul of Christianity

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

Martin Luther's favorite book, it is said, was Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, because it laid out so clearly the essential doctrine of Christianity, Justification by Faith - Alone! His commentary was transcribed from lectures - in 1531 and in Latin - to his students, quickly translated into the vernacular (German) and, by Theodore Graebner, into mid-twentieth century American English, with KJV scripture. The original Latin text, a compressed language, was translated to a full-length vernacular edition; this is the shorter version (260 pages). 

I was amazed again and again that there is no redundancy here, in a lengthy review of six short chapters of the Greek epistle. Luther examines the letter as if he were holding a jewel up to the light and using every viewpoint. He tells us that the false teachers, who opposed Paul's doctrine with the Galatians, were undoubtedly well-spoken, well-educated men, something approaching an angel of light, but false teachers they were and for that, accursed. Particularly in his expatiation on this topic in the third chapter, Luther achieves deep spirituality and a pastoral comforting of tortured consciences, and opens this up for the reader - you share his, and Paul's, vehemence. The remainder of the epistle sees Paul's re-establishment of Christian cordiality with the Galatians, still using every means possible to encourage their loyalty to this essential doctrine. 

Interspersed among the commentary by Luther are short observations by Dr Jackson on the modern heresies and misjudgments which are new challenges - particularly "objective justification" and Church Growth. No mincing of words in either author of the commentaries! You may have read the Small Catechism and the Augsburg Confession. This should be next on your reading list.
