Check out my interview with John McWhorter on his Lexicon Valley podcast! McWhorter actually read the book, and I concur with him when he says in the piece, "I get it, Mark." He does, he clearly does. I'm praying that a lot of Christians join him in getting it. And...
Pre-order the book in Logos here and in print here. The book should be available for pre-order on Amazon soon.
I just finished listening to three dozen half-hour lectures by Dan Wallace on textual criticism. They were masterful, absolutely superb. And they're free online at Credo House. Wallace is an engaging lecturer with incomparable (among evangelicals) direct experience...
The following is a comment I recently wrote in response to someone who prefers the KJV but does not insist on its exclusive use. He clearly has good education—from Southern Seminary, I believe. He also prefers the TR. [William,] your argument that study Bibles and...

An online interlocutor with genuine intellectual acumen engaged me graciously but firmly on a recent post I wrote promoting the use of multiple Bible translations. He's essentially KJV-Only, though his professed allegiance is actually to Scrivener's Textus Receptus....
A friend wrote me (and I have his permission to post this): I have a serious interest in using the NKJV as the ministry Bible of choice for our congregation. It corresponds to my textual preference for TR/MT/Byzantine tradition (though I appreciate good CT...
I'm super late to the party on this one, but I just ran across an article by Joel Beeke offering thirteen "Practical Reasons for Retaining the KJV." Dr. Beeke is respected for good reason, and I have profited in multiple ways from his ministry. He also avoids the...
