“The So-called English Standard Version
By Dr. Theodore Letis
The English Standard Version was marketed as a translation for conservative Christians, but it is essentially just a revision of an earlier translation owned by an apostate organization.
Crossway Books paid the National Council of Churches $625,000 for “special rights” to its Revised Standard Version, but the terms of that contract remain unknown today. We are living in extraordinarily confused times.
In this short volume, Dr. Letis serves as a consumer advocate to those who are tired of being exploited by manipulative advertising slogans and multinational corporations.” https://www.textandtranslation.org/theodore-letis-the-so-called-english-standard-version/
An audio of Dr. Letis speaking on the issue of the Word of God and today’s commercialism of the Word may be heard at the above link.
This is a follow up to the last article on the name Jehovah.
Dr. D. A. Waite has been a friend of mine for many many years and has been a strong defender of the Greek Text underlying the King James Bible and the King James Bible itself. The Four Reasons for Defending the King James Bible booklet was “taken from a message delivered on Wednesday, July 21, 1993, at the 15th Annual Meeting of the Dean Burgon Society..” and is also a very very brief summary of Dr. Waite’s larger book Defending the King James Bible. I trust you will read carefully Dr. Waite’s defense for the English Bible that has been used of God for over four hundred years in the English speaking world.
Pastor Robert J. Barnett pastored the Calvary Baptist Church in Michigan for many many years before his retirement. He held to the preservation of the Old Testament in the Masoretic Text and the New Testament in the Greek Traditional Text. These two God preserved texts were faithfully translated into the English in the King James Bible also known as the Authorized Bible.
Pastor Barnett’s book, The Word of God on Trial, was first published in 1981. It has had three more printings with the last being in 1990. I have put this book into a pdf and trust it will be a benefit and blessing to you. Psalm 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
These are two of the messages from the 2023 Dean Burgon Society meeting held at Bible Baptist Church, Marietta, GA.
