One reader mentioned Laurence Vance's work on the KJV, and that name resonated at once. Vance wrote The Other Side of Calvinism, a book which eviscerates that particular form of Enthusiasm.
Solely on his merits, displayed in that book, Vance books on the KJV were ordered for the second edition of The Bible Book.
Alec Satin, our Lutheran Librarian, put me in touch with David Daniels' work, which is probably the only good source for the facts behind Dynamic Spammic Translating- Eugene Nida.
Lest we forget, all the Lutheran sects are being managed by people with crippled educations. They have never been exposed to anything close to Biblical scholarship, which makes them poor judges in the Bible business.
The KJV translators were superb Biblical scholars and linguistic experts. Tyndale, who gave us the English Bible and therefore the KJV, was equal to Shakespeare in his language skills.
That is why I laugh when people complain about the KJV and the burden of Shakespearean prose. It has been proven that Shakespeare used more words and made up more new words than any other English author, including John Milton.
So the Nida Fan Club brags about the Bibles with the vocabulary and eloquence of Dick, Jane, and Sally. "Look, look, look. See Spot Run! Run, run, run!" Even in elementary school, I was caustic in my evaluable of books intended to talk down to us.
