About this ebook

Many have asked Edward D. Andrews as a Chief Translator, “In studying the modern Bible translations, I have come across some verses that are left out but that are in my King James Version or even my New King James Version, such as Matthew 18:11; 23:14; Luke 17:36. I have gotten conflicting opinions on social media. Can you please clear this up for me?”

Have you experienced this? The book of Revelation warns: “if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.” Yes, removing a true part of the Bible would be a serious matter. (Rev. 22:19) But had this happened? Do you know why these verses are omitted from modern translations? You might wonder, ‘Is my modern Bible translation lacking something that the King James Version has?’ The reader of the King James Version may feel that they have something that the modern Bibles do not. Andrews will help the reader find the answers to whether verses are being omitted and far more when it comes to the differences between the King James Bible and the Modern Bible translations.

Edward Andrews provides a very good introduction to how our English bibles came to be in a way that is accessible to the lay reader. The book would have benefited from further editing, as some portions are erroneously repeated while others are intentionally repeated, and there are several spelling and grammar errors, but nothing that inhibits the reader in understanding what the author is trying to communicate. Some readers may not agree with all of the author's presumptions and conclusions, and that is ok. The main point, that the King James Version is imperfect, is something that we all should be able to agree upon.
