No other book has sold more copies in any language than the King James Version of the Bible. For 350 years it held sway over every other translation of the BIble in the Christian world. Dr. Leland Ryken, author of the new book 'The Legacy of the King James Bible,' explains the history, the strength, and the abiding influence of the great Reformation Bible. In the year 2011, we commemorate the anniversary of this book. What translation of the BIble would you use for your children's education and training? Do translations matter? Kevin Swanson encourages parents to educate their children in the language, the worldview, the gravitas, and the ideas conveyed in the King James Bible.

“ He throws the KJV a bone. ” I love the KJV and have really delved into its creation. Some of Swanson's reasons for reading the KJV are legit but many seem to predominately stem from the "legacy" angle; ie, my Grandfather read it, or there was less confusion when everyone read from the same text. I was particularly triggered when he made the audacious and fallacious claim that we have better textual criticism today, as if those amazing scholars back in the 17th Century, who are still without peer, were somehow inferior to the clowns we have today who claim to know Greek and Hebrew.
