Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King James Version (KJV), commonly known as the Authorized Version (AV) or King James Bible (KJB), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. First printed by the King's Printer Robert Barker, this was the third translation into English to be approved by the English Church authorities. The first was the Great Bible commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second was the Bishops' Bible of 1568. In January 1604, King James I convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England. James gave the translators instructions intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha were translated from the Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible - for Epistle and Gospel readings - and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version was effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and Protestant churches. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English speaking scholars. Today, the most used edition of the King James Bible, and often identified as plainly the King James Version, especially in the United States, closely follows the standard text of 1769, edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford. Editorial Criticism: F. H. A. Scrivener and D. Norton have both written in detail on editorial variations which have occurred through the history of the publishing of the Authorized Version from 1611 to 1769. In the 19th century, there were effectively three main guardians of the text. Norton identified five variations among the Oxford, Cambridge and London (Eyre and Spottiswoode) texts of 1857, such as the spelling of "farther" or "further" at Matthew 26:29. In the 20th century, variations between the editions was reduced to comparing the Cambridge to the Oxford. Distinctly identified Cambridge readings included "or Sheba" (Josh. 19:2), "sin" (2 Chr. 33:19), "clifts" (Job 30:6), "vapour" (Psalm 148:8), "flieth" (Nah. 3:16), "further" (Matt. 26:39) and a number of other references. In effect the Cambridge was considered the current text in comparison to the Oxford. Cambridge University Press introduced a change at 1 John 5:8 in 1985 reverting its longstanding tradition of having the word "spirit" in lower case to have a capital letter "S." It has also done the same in some of its publications in Acts 11:12 and 11:28. These are instances where both Oxford and Cambridge have now altered away from Blayney's 1769 Edition. The distinctions between the Oxford and Cambridge editions has been a major point in the Bible version debate. Differences among Cambridge editions, in the 21st century, has become a potential theological issue, particularly in regard to the identification of the Pure Cambridge Edition. Translation The English terms "rejoice" and "glory" stand for the same word in the Greek original. In Tyndale, Geneva and the Bishops' Bibles, both instances are translated "rejoice." In the Douay-Rheims New Testament, both are translated "glory." Only in the Authorized Version does the translation vary between the two verses. In the Old Testament the translators render the Tetragrammaton YHWH by "the LORD" (in later editions in small capitals as LORD), or "the LORD God"

Book excerpt: The King James Version has shaped the church, our worship, and our mother tongue for over 400 years. But what should we do with it today? The KJV beautifully rendered the Scriptures into the language of turn-of-the-seventeenth-century England. Even today the King James is the most widely read Bible in the United States. The rich cadence of its Elizabethan English is recognized even by non-Christians. But English has changed a great deal over the last 400 years—and in subtle ways that very few modern readers will recognize. In Authorized Mark L. Ward, Jr. shows what exclusive readers of the KJV are missing as they read God's word.#In their introduction to the King James Bible, the translators tell us that Christians must "heare CHRIST speaking unto them in their mother tongue." In Authorized Mark Ward builds a case for the KJV translators' view that English Bible translations should be readable by what they called "the very vulgar"—and what we would call "the man on the street."

Download or read book Life in the Son written by Robert Shank and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep study on the doctrine of eternal security Does one moment of faith secure a person's eternal destiny with God--even if that person later stops following and trusting in Jesus? Or does a person have to keep on trusting and following Jesus to remain in a saving relationship with God? Now expanded with new chapters and research, this landmark book continues to offer one of the most penetrating studies on the controversial doctrine of eternal security, perseverance, and apostasy in the New Testament. Calling into question the popular "once saved, always saved" belief, internationally respected pastor and scholar Dr. Robert Shank reveals that the question we should be asking is not, "Is the believer secure?" but rather, "What does it mean to be a believer?" Straightforward, thorough, and grounded in biblical understanding, this book warns Christians about dangers that could potentially lead a believer to become an unbeliever (falling away from faith) and share in the unbeliever's eternal condemnation.

Download or read book NEW TESTAMENT HARMONY AD 50 53 written by Robert Hodanko and published by Robert Hodanko. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a harmonious chronology of the New Testament accounts for the period AD 50 – 53. All dates are approximate and based on the determination that Jesus was crucified on Friday, April 7, AD 30. Every effort has been made to accurately present the chronology of the New Testament events. The 27 New Testament books were written by several men of different backgrounds and educational levels. They wrote over a period of several decades without the opportunity for collaboration. Despite this disparity there is remarkable harmony in their eye-witness accounts and teaching. Such harmony provides strong evidence that the New Testament scriptures were inspired by God; otherwise, the historical record of the New Testament could not have been written with such unerring accuracy. The purpose of this book is to highlight and trace that harmony. Hopefully, it can serve as a tool for your study of the Bible.

Download or read book Connections 2 written by Frank Chodl and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One thing I have noticed throughout my life as a psychic medium and teacher is that these roles, as well as that of healer, often overlap. As a medium, I work to facilitate the transitioning of those who have passed as well as easing the pain and confusion of those left behind. I help to heal both sides while teaching my clients about the processes that are taking place When you look more deeply into the various modalities and methods of the psychics, healers, teachers, you may begin to see many aspects of all three within yourselves. When I help someone, who is stuck in between this plane and the "beyond," I am not acting as an exorcist but rather as a transitionist. I am not casting them out. I am giving them the assistance they need in order to open the path to finally move on. Our task is not to release all those souls who have become stuck here single handedly. It is to send out the message to everyone on both sides to join together in bringing the healing and release that those souls so desperately need. Try to imagine the intense energy of two millennia of trapped souls simultaneously rejoining with the universe. Building on the lessons learned in my last book, Connections: A Journey to Understanding, in, Connections 2: The Gathering, I offer guidance to help us all answer questions including: • What is our greater purpose in this life? • What are our true abilities? • Who and where are our tribes? and moves us forward to prepare us for our greatest event yet, "The Gathering."
