Have you ever been a part of a church or met a believer who believed the "Authorized" version was the only proper English Bible? Maybe you know all the text-critical issues, but do you know how to explain the importance of a vernacular Bible to people in a patient, loving, pastoral way? Mark Ward, a Logos Pro at Faithlife has laid out a stellar, easy-to-read explanation of KJV-onlyism in his new book, "Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible" (Lexham Press, releasing 1/24/18). In this episode, Travis and Mark talk about most believers' tendency toward prizing one version and the virtues of using multiple translations, even in preaching. Check out more resources at exegeticaltools.com and pick up "Authorized," which D.A. Carson calls, "Highly Recommended" (which ought to be authorization enough!).
