The Christian's Handbook of Manuscript Evidence

The purpose of this book is not only to affirm the believer's faith in the true word of God, but to present the evidence that disproves the antiquated theories of Westcott and Hort. This handbook will enable the Bible believer to handle problems which may arise from those who resent, disbelieve, ignore, or ridicule the Authorized Version. The problems of sources are defined and analyzed, the evidence from the church fathers and ancient versions is discussed, and the argument by the critics on the "archaic words" in the Authorized Version is answered. The variances between the Greek Textus Receptus and the AV are examined, and the newer versions are compared with the King James and are found to be deficient. In this work, Dr. Ruckman demonstrates the Roman Catholic bias of Westcott and Hort and dissects their theories of textual criticism. Proof is presented for the superiority of the AV over the "original Greek."
