In fact, the book really emphasizes the conceptual error in the modern textual criticism. As such, it is way ahead of many writings on the topic, on both sides of the issue.

And I read it many years ago, and then repurchased it recently for review.

While Daniel Segraves position may have become a little weaker than when he wrote the book, that is neither here nor there.

Yours in Jesus,

Not in defense of the AV. Segraves remains, afaik, a supporter of the Received Text and uses the AV and NKJV. The problem is that they have at times very different, even opposite, translational meanings.

In that situation it is pretty much impossible for anyone to hold an English Bible in their hand and believe they have the pure and perfect word of God.

Some of my friends studied under him, and learned about the excellence of the AV from his teaching. His efforts should be respected. However, his AV support is significantly lessened. I could check with my friends and ask how they view the newer position in relation to the older.
