Mrs. Ichabod and I waited for the numbers to roll over last night, but it took a few more hours to reach 9 million. Why don't the others put a counter on their sites? 

I have some humorous remarks, but the best ones come from the opponents - see below. They are highly motivating for more blogging and books, as some might have guessed.

Controversies tend to call for books, and I learn a lot from writing each book. I appreciate the help I get from Christina, Norma A. Boeckler, Virginia Roberts, Terry Howell, and Janie Sullivan. I am working on the second edition of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God.

 Book reviews and comments provide more visibility for books. Thank you, Warren!
Now, everybody - put away your NIVs, ESVs, and New KJVs.

Randy, when he was a bit younger...

How Did the Biblical Professors Publish So Much?

 

 Lenski

I was going to describe how one famous Harvard Biblical professor only wrote one book, but I found out that he had a few other titles as well. He gave a lecture at Yale Divinity, showing he was dead set against what the Apostle Paul wrote. 

A reader mentioned Theodore Letis (on the Majority Text - KJV), a name I remembered from earlier studies of the KJV. I looked up his books on Alibris. One was $15. The other, being sold on Amazon, was used as well - $541.00, plus $12 shipping! I chose the $15 one. 

In looking up A. T. Robertson, I found he published 35 books in his career. he considered his greatest accomplishment teaching New Testament Greek to Southern Baptist seminarians, numbering 5,000 in all. 

Most people think of Lenski for his New Testament commentaries as his life work, which were an accomplishment. But he wrote other books. The Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry has more Lenski titles, all online free, plus many of them as affordable print books on Amazon. He was a parish pastor and district president - so he was well experienced and well worn.

The quality of books is the main issue, not the quantity.
