If any expression seemed to them to have a dangerous tendency, they altered it, or transplanted it, or removed it bodily from the sacred page. from Chapter XIV Anglican priest and biblical scholar JOHN WILLIAM BURGON (1813 1888), a strident defender of the Bible as the Word of God, here details the errors introduced into the bibilical text as it was translated into the King James version revising the Bible was, he believed, at best a dubious enterprise. The work, a sequel to his book The Traditional Text, is carefully organized into categories of intentional and unintentional error, complete with detailed examples. Readers interested in biblical scholarship, translation, and the history of the Bible will enjoy this book. ""
