Edward Freer Hills (1912-1981) graduated in Latin from Yale
University, Phi Beta Kappa. He earned several seminary degrees, did graduate
work at the University of Chicago, and completed a PhD at Harvard University.
His King James Version Defended is one of the best and most readable
books on the topic. His style is plain, so his discussions of the following
issues are easily comprehended by ministers and laity alike:
- ·
The Johannine Comma, 1 John 5:7-8
- ·
The ending of Mark, Mark 16:9-20
- ·
The woman caught in Adultery, John 7:53-8:11
- ·
The doxology of the Lord’s Prayer.
This one book contains
a wealth of information about all the issues, including background about the
individuals, though Tyndale has been overlooked. The book can be obtained on
Amazon and also found as a $5 Kindle in the original title Text and Time.
Dean John William Burgon (1813-1888)
Burgon has a society
named after him, the Dean Burgon Society, which keeps the flame alive for the
King James Version. First of all, he was a sworn and published enemy of German
rationalism, which was promoted by the Essays and Reviews edited by John
William Parker. Burgon was appreciated for his sermons against the book. His
writing is heavy duty, not light work to read, but much clearer after reading
Hill. A good explanation of how Bibles became corrupted is detailed in his The
Revision Revised: A Refutation of Westcott and Hort’s False Greek Text and
Theory. The basic argument is clear and very much like Hill’s – the Bible
is revealed for believers and must be studied and explained by believers. There
is no middle ground or compromise, even though the denominations are feathering
their nests with the constant flow of new, improved, but clearly dishonest translations.
