Which Version Is The Bible?
2004
Eighteenth Edition
Revised and Enlarged
(First Edition 1989)

by Floyd Nolen Jones, Th.D., Ph.D.

 

An alarming expose' documenting the reasons for the differences between the modern translations of the Bible and the historical translations of the Bible such as the 1611 King James Bible, and other older Bible versions. Numerous illustrations of these significant differences are presented, and the myth that the differences in modern versions are mainly due to synonym choices and language changes is dispelled.

The casting aside of the traditional Greek New Testament text which is the basis of the historic versions by Tyndale, Luther, Coverdale, and others is maticulously documented. Also carefully documented is the process which produced the radically differenct Greek text of the modern versions including an analysis of textual criticism. The completely unscientific basis of the methods of textual criticism are also exposed, and evidence that the traditional Greek text is actually much older than the newer critical text of the modern versions is presented.

The work is carefully footnoted and includes a complete and comprehensive bibliography and index.

Reviewer: Barry D. Adkins from Houston, Texas USA

As a seminary student at one of the most conservative seminaries in the Southern Baptist Convention I experienced in my first year nearly every anecdote about seminaries Dr. Jones mentions in his book. During that same time I heard numerous professors and others who support the critical text insist that such things "never" happen at seminaries. Remarkably, due to my own personal research, I was often more knowledgeable than many of my professors on the subject of textual criticism and Bible versions. Being a degreed, licensed, and practicing engineer experienced in the scientific method, I found that these "experts" almost always lacked the ability to be truly objective and recognize the illogical, grossly unscientific reasoning of the methods employed in textual criticism. Even more remarkable is that I find the "experts" and "scholars" are the least interested in engaging in an objective discussion on the matter, and many pastors do not consider the subject significant. Most seem to consider the issue a technical argument over fine details - thinking that if it were all that important their seminary professors would have informed them. In reality the subject is never covered in the vast majority of seminary degree plans including the Ph. D. degree plans, and if covered only minuscule introductory generalities are discussed. I truly believe the church is experiencing the fulfillment of Isaiah 29:14, "... for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid." I encourage every believer to read Dr. Jones' book, weigh the evidence, reach your own conclusion, and do not be intimidated by anyone who disagrees just because they hold an "authoritative" degree.

Analytical Red Letter Harmony of the Gospels: A Return to the Historical Text (Authorized version)

by Floyd Nolen Jones, Th.D., Ph.D.

 
 

 

The power of the modern microcomputer enabled the undertaking to produce this extremely precise analytical presentation of a harmony of the four New Testament gospels. This harmony of the gospels is unique in its presentation of the words of Jesus Christ in red. A chronological compendium of the life of Jesus Christ as recorded in the four gospels is also included in this edition which utilizes the historic text (Authorized Version) of the New Testament. An extensive bibliography and index is also included, and the spiral binding is more user friendly than a paper or hard back binding allowing the user more convenience while using this as a study aide.

Reviewer: Robert Mallek from Houston, Texas USA

Dr. Jones' lastest publication of the Harmony of the Four Gospels is an invaluable tool for students of the scriptures. The Gospels have been not only been chronilogically assembled, but similar narratives are arranged side-by-side which allows for the student to get a full view of a particular subject, as described by more than one person. The appendices contain an invaluable study of the genealogies leading to Jesus, and once and for all settles the question of the dates surrounding Artaxerxes decree.

This study is reinforced by a companion publication of Dr. Jones' 'WHICH BIBLE', which presents an analytical look at the different translations of the Bible. Dr. Jones presents a convincing argument that the Authorized (or Received) Text is the true Word of God present on the earth today.
