The Westcott and Hort Text Under Fire

This article is quite dated, but I found it an interesting read that was well-researched. Its source is Bibliotheca Sacra, January 1921.

An exhaustive listing of the marginal notes of the 1611 edition of the King James Bible

In honor of the 400th anniversary of the Authorized Version 1611-2011

These marginal notes are available in scans and published reprints of the 1611, but we believe that listing them all together and in modern spelling makes it much easier to study the notes in depth, or to do quick visual scans. The digital text of the notes allows for keyword searches, among other advantages.

Is it wrong to say God inspired the writers of the Bible?

In recent years I have noticed an increasing trend in Fundamentalism objecting to statements to the effect that the writers of Scripture were inspired. It often comes across in clichés such as “God inspired the words, not the writers.” At least one Fundamentalist has written repeatedly that it is heresy to refer to inspired writers. The following are two examples of what is being taught along these lines by different authors:

The basic premise of Stephen Coston’s book King James VI of Scotland & I of England Unjustly Accused?

J. Hudson Taylor on inspiration

How this amazing missionary proved the Bible

By J. Hudson Taylor, D. D. Founder of the China Inland Mission
(Given at D. L. Moody's Northfield Conference, Summer, 1888)

Two questions have been put into my hands on the subject of inspiration.

One is: "'Are we not in the danger of trying to make Scripture mean too much—for instance, by insisting on verbal inspiration?" Well, dear friends; try and make it mean too much. Try and get half of its fullness. I don't think there is very much danger in this way.

The Prosperity "Gospel"

"It is never God’s will for a Christian to be poor"

Have you ever heard this? That statement may sound like music to your ears, and may even sound biblical. We are being barraged more and more by promises of riches on behalf of unscrupulous radio and television evangelists. They are taking advantage of people’s greed in attempts to attract more followers. Let’s take a look at the biblical perspective regarding riches and poverty, with minimal comments on my part.
