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.

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.

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.

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.
