markerFor Love of the Bible: the Battle for the King James Version and the Received Text from 1800 to Present by David Cloud
This 460-page book traces the history of the defense of the KJV and the Received Text from 1800 to present. The 33-page bibliography is the most extensive in print on the subject. A detailed index is also included. The author spent several thousand dollars researching this material and has written several hundred letters in this connection, communicating with men from around the world who stand for the KJV today. The book includes hundreds of testimonies and biographies; sketches of churches, schools, and organizations which have defended the KJV; a digest of reviews and condensations of major books and articles written in defense of the Old Bible in the past 200 years; excerpts from rare books on this subject which are no longer available; a comprehensive overview of the varied arguments in favor of the KJV. The arguments commonly put forth in defense of the modern versions are shown to be myths.

markerMy Plea for the Old Sword: The Unsurpassable Pre-eminency of the English Authorized Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible by Ian R. K. Paisley
"I believe the Authorised Version preserves the Word of God for me in the English tongue and that it contains no errors."--Introduction.
"The foundation texts upon which any translation rests are all-important. If the foundation is false the translation will be false. If the foundation is corrupt the translation will be corrupt. If the foundation is erroneous the translation will be erroneous. The texts upon which the modern English perversions of the Holy Scripture are founded are neither reliable nor accurate. The foundation of the English Authorised Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible is unsurpassably pre-eminent in the underlying texts upon which it rests."--Chapt. 1.
