In Awe of the World

Riplinger's exhaustive research once again benefits all within Christ's church who love the word. If any nay sayers disagree, they should check her sources and give references to refute her, not just trash-talk. She's not saying that everyone needs to learn English to have a pure preserved word of God, but that all pure preserved translations come from the same source--hence the similarities of the Geneva, Bishops, and earlier Bibles. She has also mentioned a Vaudois (French) bible, Luther's German bible, and a spanish bible as being in the line of pure preserved translations. The point is that God can and does preserve His Word even through copies of copies of copies for each generation. Don't take Gail's word for it. Do your own research. Prove it beyond a shadow of any doubt. Ask God for truth. That's what I did, and I came to a similar conclusion: God's Word preserved in English, is the King James Bible.

People slam Riplinger, but she is right on about the AV being God's Word in English.

This volume needs to be in the library of every serious student of God's magnificent Word! Presented in textbook style (a bit hard to follow at first, but hang in there, you'll catch on quickly), Sis. Riplinger shows us again and again the Master's hand upon the King James Bible. Please don't let the naysayers discourage you from purchasing this insightful volume! Find out for yourself that the attacks on Sis. Riplinger's scholarship are wholly without foundation. This book is exhaustively researched, and a prayerful, thorough check of many of her source materials brought this one-time skeptic to the same conclusions Sis. Riplinger so simply and beautifully outlines. If you desire a deeper "dig at the Rock", this book will be a valuable tool.

I learned a ton from this book. The layout is a little awkward to get used to at first, but the research about the texts and the amount of time GA Riplinger put into her work must have been a ton. You will learn about the meter of the KJV, the source of the texts as she always discusses. But behind her support for the KJV she now goes backwards and shows how the Wycliffe Bible, the Saxon Bible and the Gothic Bible all agreed or fit with the KJV. You will also learn about men who were important to bringing us the KJV including two very important figures, Wycliffe and Erasmus. She devotes almost 100 pages to Erasmus' life and teachings and how he was persecuted for his beliefs. This is an amazing book for Biblical Research. If you are interested in delving more deeply into the workings of textual criticism, Riplinger's book will be a great guide to get you through it.
